EDF 6225 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS UPDATED (2024/2025) (VERIFIED ANSWERS) Researchers began to apply principles of behavior in an effort to improve socially important behavior - ANS 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. - ANS 1960s Formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis. Application of principles were made. - ANS 1960s-1970s Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) began publication - ANS 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. - ANS Journal of applied behavior analysis (JABA) Founding fathers of ABA - ANS 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. - ANS "Some current dimensions of applied behavior analysis" (Baer, Wolf, and Risley) 1960s-1970s Characteristics of ABA - ANS 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. - ANS 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. - ANS Behavioral Demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and nonoccurrence of the behavior (a functional relation is demonstrated) - ANS 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. - ANS Technological Behavior change interventions are derived from basic principles of behavior. Better enable research consumer to derive other similar procedures from the same principles. Assist in integrating discipline into a system instead of a "collection of tricks" - ANS Conceptually systematic Improves behavior sufficiently to produce practical results for the participants. Improvements in behavior must reach clinical or social significance behavior. Extent to which changes in the target behaviors result in noticeable changes. - ANS Effective Produces behavior changes that last over time, appear in other environments, or spread to other behaviors - ANS Generality The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior, and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement of behavior. - ANS Applied behavior analysis Effective change, lasting change, and scientific approach - ANS The promise and possibilities of ABA Assent in services, including clients in every aspect of planning behavior change, and combating ableism in services - ANS Areas to grow in ABA Applied behavior analysis is set apart from other disciplines by - ANS Focus, goals, and methods The goals of applied behavior analysis are - ANS Description, prediction, and control
