13 Mar Analyze Baer, Wolf, and Risley’s dimensions of behavior analysis
Week 5: Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis
In their seminal article, Baer et al. (1968) elucidate the differences between applied and non-applied (theoretical) research, stating “. . . applied research is constrained to examining behaviors which are socially important, rather than convenient for study. It also implies, very frequently, the study of those behaviors in their usual social settings, rather than in a “laboratory” setting” (p. 92). They expand on these differences by identifying seven dimensions of applied behavior analysis (ABA) that are indicators of how ABA represents a science of behavior analysis.
This week, you will examine the seven dimensions of applied behavior analysis identified by Baer, Wolf, and Risley in their seminal 1968 article and evaluate the relevance and practical application of the dimensions in the 21st century.
