Technological A group of stimuli that share a common function, topography, or temporal relation and have a common effect on a response class (behavior). Hint: Think of the stimulus class as the stuff that precedes and/or follows behavior. For example, your PTB ABA Study Manual, pens, highlighters, note cards and notebooks are the stimulus class of things that you use to study. 5th Edition Task ListA-5 Describe and define the dimensions of applied behavior analysis (Baer, Wolf, & Risley, 1968). 6th Edition TCOA.5 Identify and describe dimensions of applied behavior analysis. Related Content Hypothetical construct Presumed, but unobserved processes and subjective ideas that, in mentalism, are used to explain behavior and/or its causes.Generality A dimension of ABA, which explains that any behavior change should persist across time, settings, behaviors, and people that differ from the original intervention conditions.Explanatory fiction A mentalistic and mythical explanation for behavior that attributes unobservable processes to the occurrence of the behavior.Effective A dimension of ABA, which explains that ABA procedures should result in a practical, socially significant improvement in a person’s life.Conceptually systematic A dimension of ABA, which explains that ABA procedures must be derived from the basic principles of behavior analysis.Circular reasoning A mentalistic process in which the cause and effect of behavior are both inferred from the same information.Behavioral A dimension of ABA, which explains that ABA treatment must target measurable and observable behavior.Applied A dimension of ABA, which explains that ABA treatment must aim to improve socially significant behaviors in real-world settings.Analytic A dimension of ABA, which explains that a functional relationship is demonstrated when manipulated events (independent variables) produce a reliable change in any measurable dimension of the targeted behavior (dependent…Dana Do's: How to Easily Break Down the 7 Dimensions of ABA PTB co-founder Dana Meller shares an easy way to break down the 7 dimensions of ABA by using the dimensions to define what it means to be a behavior analyst, which in turn, makes it much easier to discriminate between each dimension.
