Self Evaluate Your Understanding of ABA Terminology ➠ Self Management

Self-management deals with two ideas: a controlled response, which is the target behavior that you want to change, and the actual act of changing that behavior to desired levels. That’s known as controlling response which defines self-management (when you actually engage in the desired behavior). There are many benefits to using self-management for improving one’s behavior. And mainly, it promotes independence and generalization. There are many self-management strategies (reference Cooper and the PTB ABA Study Manual for more) but here are a few:

Manipulating MOs: If you’ve ever purposefully eaten a large meal before going to the supermarket so you wouldn’t buy every single thing, you were self-managing. If you’ve ever used a to-do list or left something by the door so you wouldn’t forget it – that’s self-managing. If you’ve ever removed junk food from your home so you would eat less junk food– again, self-management. If you’ve ever limited a less desirable behavior to a specific context, for example, having a drink only on special occasions or only eating cake at birthday parties– self-management. Those are just a few examples.

A few other terms that are associated with self-management are self-monitoring, when you’re recording data on your own behavior, keeping track of calorie intake, expenses, study hours, and SAFMEDS’ fluency; that’s all part of self-monitoring. Another important term is self-evaluation, that’s self-assessment. If you’re comparing where your behavior levels were, to what they are, to what you want them to be, you’re self-evaluating. Maybe you used to buy something from Amazon every night, and now you do it every other night, but your goal is to get it down to once a week or less. That would be determined or analyzed through self-evaluation.
