Current Dimensions of ABA
What is applied?
This attitude states that behaviors are lawful.
What is determinism?
Single-Subject designs use this logic to demonstrate the functional relationship between the dependent variable(s) and independent variable(s).
What is baseline logic?
Celia would like to influence the repeatability dimension of hand raising behavior. Celia would like to select a continuous measure but the duration of her observations vary. Identify the data product Celia likely used.
What is rate?
Toby has to complete an average of 3 problems to receive reinforcement. Identify the schedule of reinforcement.
What is VR3?
A task analysis that is written such that others can implement meets this dimension of behavior.
What is technological?
Attitude of science referring to data, data, data!
What is empirical?
This single-subject design can demonstrate the highest rigor of experimental control.
What is the withdrawal or reversal design?
This data product can inform you of the temporal extent dimension of a behavior.
What is duration?
What is a concurrent schedule?
Celia conducts a program evaluation and finds that there is a proper data collection system in placed, meets this current dimension of ABA.
What is behavioral?
Celia repeating the experiment to confirm the results meets this attitude of science.
What is replication?
What is prediction?
Measurement procedures that do not account for every instances of behavior occurring.
What is discontinuous measurement?
Example of a compound schedule: To earn access to the computer, Toby needs to complete 5 math problems or have 1 problem completed after 15 minutes have expired.
What is alternative schedule?
Celia conducts a program evaluation and finds that multiple exemplar training and programming for common stimuli are included in teaching procedures, meeting this current dimension of ABA.
What is generalization?
The therapist observed Toby pressing on his ears continuously throughout the session for the very first time. Instead of requesting the BCBA for an FBA, the therapist asked the parent to check if Toby has an ear infection, is an example of this attitude of science.
What is parsimony?
Demonstration of verification twice.
What is replication?
This data product can be informative to evaluate an intervention targeted to improve the pilot's reaction time in the presence of a particular discriminative stimulus.
What is latency?
Making coffee is likely to be this compound schedule of reinforcement.
What is chain schedule?
Using pharmacological interventions violates this current dimension of ABA.
What is conceptually systematic?
The researcher continues to question his data and interpretation meets this attitude of science.
What is philosophical doubt?
This is needed before verification can be demonstrated.
What is affirmation of the consequent?
This discontinuous measurement procedure is likely selected for a behavior targeted for reduction.
What is partial-interval recording?
An example of a compound schedule: You need to take 5 steps forward, 3 steps left, 10 steps forward, 6 steps right, 3 steps to get out of the corn maze. However, there is no map and/or signs to tell you what to do.
What is a tandem schedule?
