Social Significance of behavior
|
|
|
Behavioral
|
behavior chosen for study must be the behavior in need of improvement
|
|
|
Analytic
|
demonstration of a functional relation between the manipulated events and the behavior of interest
|
|
|
Technological
|
all procedures are identified and precisely described
|
|
|
Conceptually Systematic
|
Describing the procedures for behavior under investigation and must produce clinical or social significance
|
|
|
Generality
|
Behavior change that lasts over time, appears in multiple environments or spreads to other behaviors not treated by the behavior change techniques
|
|
|
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
|
Lab Based Research; Properties of experiments; Controlled studies in which factors suspected of having casual status are systematically controlled and manipulated while effects are under careful study; Not looking at social significance
|
|
