3 Dimensional Quantities repeatability, temporal extent, temporal locus
Establishing Operation Establishes the effectiveness of a particular type of reinforcement or punishment
Abolishing Operation Abolishes the effectiveness of a particular form of reinforcement or punishment
"Effective" refers to • "did it work?"
• produces practical results
• must reach clinical or social significance
• noticeable change
Latency Measure how long for the behavior to occur after opportunity presented
"Technological" refers to Repeatability
• written descriptions of all procedure to sufficiently replicate
• detail and clarity
Continuous Measurement Records all of the behavior as it actually occurs during an observation.
Examples of Pseudoscience • refrigerator mothers
• vaccines cause autism
• facilitated communication
7 Dimensions of ABA 1. Applied
2. Behavioral
3. Analytic
4. Technological
5. Conceptual Systems
6. Effective
7. Generality
ASD replaced what 3 previous disorders? • Autistic disorder
• Aspergers
• Not otherwise specified
Dimensions of Behavioral: • observable and measurable responses
• precise definition that describes behavior and NOT the outcome
• document that the participants behavior has changed
Extinction No longer providing reinforcement for a behavior that used to be reinforced,
resulting in a decrease in that behavior in the future.
Consequence A stimulus that occurs in a persons environment immediately following a behavior
, Antecedent A stimulus or event that occurred in a persons environment immediately before a
behavior
Behavior Anything a person says or does a.k.a response
Founders of ABA Baer, Wolf, and Risley

• anything you can see, touch, taste, hear and or smell
Who is permitted to diagnose someone with ASD? • medical doctor
• licensed psychologist
What was the original name of ASD? Early infantile autism
"Analytic" refers to Functional Relation
• there was an experimental control that is likely caused by the intervention or
arrangement of environmental events
• replicable
"Applied" refers to Social Significance
• don't change behavior if it doesn't make participants life better
Permanent Product measuring behavior after it has occurred by measuring the effects the behavior
produced on the environment
3 Distinct impairments in ASD • communication
• social skills
• imaginative functions
Measurement The process of applying quantitative labels to observed properties of events
using a standard set of rules.
Comprehensive Treatment Treatment in which learners receive 25-40 hours of one on on treatment and
designed to address all major areas of skill deficits and all challenging behaviors
that an individual has.
Momentary Time Sampling a measurement method/ data collection in which the presence or absence of
behaviors are recorded at precisely specified time intervals
Focused Treatment Narrows in on one or a few specific challenging behaviors or skill deficits as the
target treatment
