applied behavior analysis
branch of aba that is concerned with developing a technology for improving behavior
behaviorism
branch of aba that is the philosopy of the science of behavior
empiricism
the practice of objective observation of the phenomena of interest; important to aba because behavior analysts must be able to completely define, systematically observe and accurately and relably measure occurrences and nonoccurences of the behavior of interest
experiment
a carefully conducted comparison of some measure of the phenomenon of interest (the dependent variable) under two or more different conditions in which only one factor at a time (the independent variable) differs from one condition to another
experimental analysis of behavior
branch of aba that is concerned with basic research
EAB
experimental analysis of behavior
functional relationship
a relationship that exists when a well controlled experiment reveals that a specific change in one event (the dependent variable) can relaibly be produced by specific manipulations of another event ( the independent variable) and that the change in the dependent variable was unlikely to be the result of other extraneious factors (confounding variable)
explanatory fiction
fictitious variable that is another nbame for the observed behavior that contributes nothing to an understanding of the behavior-circulr way of viewing the cause and effect of the situation
mentalism
an approach to the study of behavior that a mental or inner dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension. some phenomena from this dimension can directly cause or mediate behavior
methodological behaviorism
a philosophical position that views behavioral events that cannot be publicly observed as outside the realm of science
parsimony
requires that all simple ligical explanations for the phenomenon under investigation be ruled out, experimentally or coneptually before more complex or abstract explanations are considered
philosophic doubt
an atittude of science that says that scientists should continually question the truthfulness of what is regarded as fact
radical behaviorism
a thoroughgoing form of behaviorism that attempts to understand all human behavior including private events such as thoughts and feelings in terms of controlling variables in the history of the person (ontogeny) and the species (phylogeny)
replication
repeating an assignment to get the same results
science
a systematic approact to the understanding of natural phemena as evidenced by description, prediction, and control that relies on determinishm as its fundemantal assumption, empiricism as its prime directive, experimentation as its basic strategy, replication as requirement for believeability, parsimony as its conservative value, and philosphic doubt as its guiding conscience
correlation
relationship between variables
dependent variable
the variable that is investigated to see if it changes by manipulating the independent variable
independent variable
the variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher in an experiment to see whether changes in the independent variable produce relaible changes in the dependent variable
determinism
the attitude of science that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as a result of other events
john watson
early 1900's stimulus response psychology, said he could take 12 infants and make them whatever he wanted them to do by manipulating conditions of environment
respondent behavior
pavlov-reflexive behavior can be brought out by stimulus (dogs salivate at bell)
operant behavior
skinner-behaviors are influenced by stimulus changes that have followed the behavior in the past
applied (ABA characteristic)
signals abas commitment to affect imrpvemtne in behavior that enhance and improve peoples lives; behavior must be socailly significant
behavior (ABA characteristic)
behavior selected must be the one that needs improvement; must be measurable, must change subjects behavior not teachers or parents
analytic (ABA characteristic)
demonstrates effectiveness/functional relation between manipulated events and a relable change in some measurable dimension of the targented behavior; r
technological (ABA characteristic)
operative procedures are identified and described with sufficient detail and clarity so that they can be repeatable
conceptually systematic (ABA characteristic)
procedures for changing behavior and any interpretations of how or why those procedures were effective should be described in terms of the relevant principles from which they were derived
effective (ABA characteristic)
behavior must be improved to a practical degree
generality (ABA characteristic)
behavior lasts over time, happens in environments other than the one it was implemented in, or spreads to other behavrios
definition of aba
the science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied systematically to imrpove socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsble for behavior change
