2025) GRADED A+
Although most of you are preparing for the BACB
certification exam, please know that the material is based on
the work of ________ and his science and philosophy of
human behavior. There are occasions where we may spend
time on items that are no longer specifically required for the
exam, but we feel are required to be an excellent behavior
scientist. -<<<Answers>>>B.F. Skinner
describe the 1960s -<<<Answers>>>-researchers began to
apply principles of behavior and effort to improve socially
important Behavior.
-techniques for measuring behavior and controlling and
manipulating variables were sometimes unavailable or
inappropriate.
-little funding was available
-no ready outlets for publishing studies
-application of Behavioral principles to education is a major
area of impact.
--provide foundation for
---behavioral approaches to curriculum design
---instructional methods
---classroom management
,---generalization and maintenance of learning
(not a great time for a VA, used for bad things like conversion
therapy)
describe the 1960s-1970s -<<<Answers>>>-1968 formally
begining of Contemporary applied Behavior Analysis
--Journal of Applied behavioral analysis (JABA) began
publication.
---first journal in US to deal with applied problems and gave
researchers using methodology from experimental analysis of
behavior and outlet for publishing their findings.
---Flagship Journal of Aba (and remains)
--"some current dimensions of Applied behavioral analysis" (
bear ,wolf ,and risley)
---founding fathers of the new discipline (Aba)
---defined the criteria for judging adequacy of research and
perspective and ABA and outlined the space of work for those
in the science.
---most widely cited publication in aba
---remains standard description of the discipline
In the early 1900's the struggling field of psychology was
based on introspection and states of _________ , relying on
case studies to document work. -
<<<Answers>>>consciousness
,B.F. Skinner is credited with developing what Watson
previously described into the actual science of behavior by
conducting thousands of experiments that demonstrated
orderly and reliable relationships between behavior and the
________. This work was published in the _______
(1938/1966) and should be added to every behavior analyst's
library. -<<<Answers>>>environment; JABA
what are the the components of applied behavior analysis? -
<<<Answers>>>-applied
-behavioral
-analytic
-technological
-conceptually systematic
-effective
-capable of generalized outcomes
Describe the applied component of applied behavioral
analysis. -<<<Answers>>>-investigate socially significant
behaviors with immediate importance to the participants.
-behaviors include
--social
--language
--academic
--daily- living
, --self-care
--vocational
--recreation and/or leisure
(important to the participant is Paramount but this doesn't
always happen in practice. applied also signaled Aba's
commitment to affecting Improvement in behaviors that
enhance and improve people's lives.)
describe the behavioral component of aba. -<<<Answers>>>-
precise measurements of the actual behavior in need of
improvement and documents that it was the participants
behavior that changed.
--the behavior in need of improvement and it is a study of
behavior (not about Behavior).
--the behavior must be measurable.
--important to note whose Behavior has changed.
why is it important to note whose Behavior has changed? -
<<<Answers>>>perhaps only the behavior of the Observer
has changed, which shows "whether the study was
appropriately Behavioral". perhaps the experimenter changed
in an unplanned way, making it appropriate to attribute any
observed change in the subject's behavior to the independent
variables that were manipulated.
-to see how these respondents change over time.
