Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - ANS "The process of applying sometimes tentative
principles of behavior to the
improvement of specific behaviors, and simultaneously evaluating whether or not any
changes noted are indeed attributable to the process of application" (Baer, Wolf, &
Risley,
7 key components of ABA - ANS "GET-A-CAB"
Generativity, Effective, Technological
Applied
Conceptual, Analytic, Behavioral
Generativity - ANS The behavior continues
after withdrawal of intervention and
occurs in other settings/situations
effective - ANS The intervention is
demonstrated through visual analysis
of data to have produced positive
results

1
, technological - ANS The intervention is
described in clear and precise terms
Applied - ANS The intervention must be
applied to socially significant
behaviors requiring change
conceptual - ANS Intervention must be
based on the principles of behavior,
and to the extent available, empirical
data (literature/research)
Analytic - ANS Demonstrating a functional relation between the intervention and
the behavior; demonstration of control
of the behavior by the intervention
Behavioral - ANS must be observable and measurable
reinforcement - ANS - A consequence stimulus that
maintains or increases a
behavior
- positive and negative reinforcement
ABC (format of observation) - ANS - antecedent
- behavior
- consequence
positive reinforcement - ANS is "adding" (delivering)
