Module 2 Test: Philosophical Underpinnings Each module in this course provides fundamental information in a critical area of applied behavior analysis. At the end of each module, you will take a test to demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered. This week’s Test assesses your knowledge of...
Discussion: Applications of Philosophical Underpinnings Have you ever wondered why it is relevant to understand the theory and philosophy that underpins the field of behavior analysis? In this week’s Learning Resources, Fryling (2013) discusses some ways behavior analytic theory and philosophy are relevant to the practice...
Week 6: Applications of Philosophical Underpinnings In this course, you have explored philosophical underpinnings of applied behavior analysis, specifically selectionism, determinism, empiricism, parsimony, and pragmatism. As a practitioner of applied behavior analysis, you may be asking the question, “Why should I care about theory and philosophy?” This...
