Study Notes

7 Dimensions of ABA

Applied: Focuses on behaviors that are socially significant and have immediate relevance to participants.
Behavioral: Emphasizes the precise measurement of behaviors that need improvement, ensuring documentation indicates the participant's behavior changed rather than external factors.
Analytic: Establishes experimental control to demonstrate a functional relationship between interventions and behavior change, ensuring replicable results.
Technological: Requires complete and detailed descriptions of all procedures used in studies, allowing for replication by others in research.
Conceptually Systematic: Interventions are based on fundamental behavior principles, promoting research that can develop similar procedures and unifying behavior analysis into a coherent system.
Effective: Behavioral improvements must yield practical, clinically significant results, ensuring changes in the target behaviors are noticeable.
Generality: Encourages lasting behavior changes that persist over time, can occur in different environments, or extend to other unaddressed behaviors.
