▶ Private behavior has no special properties and is influenced by (i.e. is a
function of) the same kinds of variables as publicly accessible behavior.
Answer: Radical behaviorism
▶ includes and seeks to understand all human behavior, fair-reaching and
thoroughgoing, dramatic departure from other conceptual systems.
Answer: Radical behaviorism
▶ One of the first studies to report the human application of operant
behavior. The participant was an 18-year old boy with profound intellectual
disability. Arm-raising response was conditioned by injecting a small
amount of a warm sugar-milk solution into participant's mouth every time he
moved his right arm.. Answer: Fuller (1949)
▶ "The psychiatric nurse as a behavioral engineer". Formed the basis for
branch of behavior analysis that would alter be called applied behavior
analysis. Described techniques based on principles of behavior to improve
the functioning of chronically psychotic patients or residents with intellectual
diabilities.. Answer: Ayllon and Michael (1959)
▶ Researchers began to apply principles of behavior in an effort to improve
socially important behavior. Answer: 1960s
▶ Techniques for measuring behavior and controlling and manipulating
variables were sometimes unavailable or inappropriate. Little funding was
available. No ready outlet for publishing studies.. Answer: 1960s
▶ Formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis. Application
of principles were made.. Answer: 1960s-1970s
▶ Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) began publication. Answer:
1960s-1970s
, ▶ First journal in united states to deal with applied problems and gave
researchers using methodology from the experimental analysis of behavior
an outlet for publishing their findings. Flagship journal of ABA.. Answer:
Journal of applied behavior analysis (JABA)
▶ Founding fathers of ABA. Answer: Baer, Wolf, and Risley 1960s-1970s
▶ Defined the criteria for judging adequacy of research and practice in ABA
and outlines the scope of work for those in the science. Most widely cited
publication in ABA and remains standard description of the discipline..
Answer: "Some current dimensions of applied behavior analysis" (Baer,
Wolf, and Risley) 1960s-1970s
▶ Characteristics of ABA. Answer: 1. Applied
2. Behavioral
3. Analytic
4. Technological
5. Conceptually Systematic
6. Effective
7. Generality
▶ Investigates socially significant behavior with immediate importance to
the participants. Behaviors include: social, language, academic, daily living,
self-care, vocational, recreation and/or leisure.. Answer: Applied
▶ Precise measurement of the actual behavior in need of improvement and
documents that it was the participant's behavior that changed. The
behavior in need of improvement and it is a study of behavior (not about
behavior). The behavior must be measurable and important to note whose
behavior changed.. Answer: Behavioral
▶ Demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and
nonoccurrence of the behavior (a functional relation is demonstrated).
Answer: Analytic
▶ A written description of all procedures in the study and is sufficiently
complete and detailed to enable others to replicate it. All operative
procedures are identified and described in detail and clarity.. Answer:
Technological
