Study Notes
Attitudes of Science
- Determinism: Emphasizes a cause-and-effect understanding of the world; relies on if/then statements; suggests that with perfect control, identical results can always be achieved, indicating predictability in natural phenomena.
- Empiricism: Focuses on a data-driven approach; relies on observation and experience to form conclusions; necessitates objective quantification and thorough description of behavior.
- Experimentation: Involves manipulating independent variables to assess effects on dependent variables; critical for establishing cause-and-effect relationships; requires strict control of variables except the one being tested.
- Replication: The practice of repeating experiments to verify findings; crucial for establishing reliability and correcting errors, reinforcing the self-correcting nature of science.
- Parsimony: Advocates for the simplest explanation with the fewest assumptions; complex theories should only be considered after ruling out simpler possibilities; aids in integrating findings within existing scientific knowledge.
- Philosophical Doubt: Encourages a skeptical and critical examination of study results and real-world applications; promotes ongoing questioning in scientific practice.
Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
- Behavioral: Centers on observable behaviors that require improvement; interventions must focus directly on the behaviors relevant to clients' needs.
- Applied: Aims to enhance everyday life by addressing socially significant behaviors; targets improvements that benefit not just clients but also those around them, fostering positive interactions.
- Technological: Ensures that procedures are clearly defined and detailed for replicability; practices should be straightforward, akin to following a recipe.
- Conceptually Systematic: Each procedure should be linked to fundamental principles of behavior analysis; ensures coherence and relevance of methods used in practice.
- Analytical: Focuses on demonstrating functional relationships; assesses the believability of experimental control in establishing reliable cause-and-effect connections among variables affecting behavior.
- Generality: Ensures behavior changes are sustained over time and can be observed across different settings and contexts; promotes the transfer of skills and behavior changes.
- Effective: Emphasizes practical improvements in behavior rather than just achieving statistically significant changes; seeks real-world impact and functional outcomes for clients.
