1 What is ABA? Mandy Huggins School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Capella University PSY7708 Basic Foundations in Applied Behavior Analysis Danielle Bratton Due Date 10/22/2023

2 What is ABA? In this paper, we will look at what ABA or applied behavioral analysis looks like, and we will do that by using two journal articles. One is based on applied behavioral analysis, and the other is based on psychology and takes a more mentalistic approach within some of its statements. Thanks to Baer et al. (1968), we will use a great model for identifying the behavioral article. We talk about how the other journal article is not behavioral because it lacks the seven dimensions, according to Baer et al. (1968) Behavior Analytic Article In this section, we will talk about the paper written by Petscher et al. (2007). We can see that this paper has been published in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Analysis so far; we are off to a great start knowing this information ahead of time. Using the seven dimensions of ABA (Baer et al., 1968), we can break it down even further to see if it can work in ABA. One way to approach this is by reading the article and then asking yourself where you see and can apply the seven dimensions of ABA. The first part of understanding is who is observed (Baer et al., 1968). It would be the teachers (Petscher et al., 2017). The behaviorist is taking data on the teacher's ability to manage disruptions, bonus point delivery, and being able to prompt appropriate behavior we know has the domain of behavioral (Baer et al., 1968). Next, we can find the technological (Baer et al., 1968) area on the paper. Each person observing the participants knows precisely what they should do because a detailed plan has been written out (Petscher et al., 2017) for them to follow to know when to collect and how to prompt the participants. Conceptually systematic is used throughout the paper by returning to the behaviors' purpose and why they are being addressed (Baer et al., 1968).

3 Applied is used during this paper as the time in which the observers become observed becomes longer in duration as the experiment continues to ensure the teachers can handle increased times, therefore creating improvements on their abilities to work on these targeted areas, which in turn will lead to a more significant outcome in being able to handle behaviors in a classroom. Generality (Baer et al., 1968). can also be applied in this area of increased times. The teachers (Petscher et al., 2017) can use the work they have put in across different times that have increased and changed in topography and when times have been increased. (Baer et al. 1968). Analytical occurs as the observers learn to see the relationship between the environment from which the behaviors occur and the teacher's ability to apply the tools (Petscher et al., 2017) they have been given to handle the targeted behaviors thus, seeing the relationships between the environment and behavior (Baer et al., 1968). Another question is its effectiveness (Baer et al., 1968). The answer is yes; the experiment is effective and can be seen in the observers' data. (Petscher et al 2017), Non-Behavior Analytic Article We will now look at the article of Cipriano et al. (2017). To begin, we can start with the location of where it was published. It is from the Journal of Psychology and does not mention applied behavioral analysis. Not to say that an article written here may not contain ABA, but when we dive deeper into the Cipriano et al. (2017) article, we can see that we still need several critical components of the seven dimensions. The article is well-written and holds value in psychology, but it has little merit in applied behavioral analysis ( Cooper et al., 2020) . Cipriano et al. (2017) paper does not have a definition of technology. The written-out details cannot be replicated across people. There is not one detailed behavioral component that can be measured; we cannot relate an environment to a (Baer et al., 1968) behavior for the application. We need to
