1 The Dimensions of ABA Ashanti Unaka Capella University PSY7708 Basic Foundations in Applied Behavior Analysis Professor Bryan Blair July 23, 2023
2 Introduction In the applied behavior analysis field, the goal of our programs is to overall create a better quality of life for those with developmental disabilities. One major concept to follow is making sure we are always maintaining a behavior analytic approach when implementing these interventions. This ensures that interventions are socially necessary and effective, while being supported by research and data. The behavior analytic approach focuses on increasing and decreasing behaviors that are either beneficial or harmful to client's well-being. Seven Dimensions of ABA Within this field, we are to produce effective interventions while providing continuous education across multiple professionals. In order to do so, utilizing the seven dimensions of ABA is important. The seven dimensions of ABA were created by (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968), to ensure the quality of treatment Plans. The applied dimension focuses on the social importance of the intervention and the affect it has on the individual. The behavioral dimension focuses on observable behaviors and the changes within. The analytic dimension focuses on the relationship between the behavior and its environment. If the intervention is clear and replicable it functions as the technological dimension. When treatments results in social significance it functions as the effective dimension. The generality dimension focuses on the results of the treatment plan, was the treatment long lasting and durable ? Lastly, the conceptually systematic dimension focuses on relating the procedures to behavioral principles.
3 Article one After reviewing the first article, I was able to determine that it was a behavior analytic article because it improved socially significant behavior in individuals with developmental disabilities. It also throughly covered the 7 dimensions of ABA. The goal of this intervention was to improve the peer interactions within individuals using a pager. Throughout this article, I found that all seven of the dimensions were throughly used. Below I have listed a few. The first mentioned dimension was applied. In this article, readers were able to grasp the environment and what the individuals were instructed to do. It showed how the behaviors were significant to the individual and its environment. The second mentioned dimension was generality when the study was implemented across different people. Another mentioned dimension was effectiveness, even though their results weee found not to be effective and in need of further research, it did mention the study being effective within their careers. Lastly, the analytic dimension was used in this article when the authors included the multiple baseline approach. Article two After reviewing this article, I could immediately tell that the article was not a behavior analytic one. Simply because it was not derived from the journal of applied behavior analysis. It also only mentioned the use of one dimension throughout the entire article. Conceptually systematic dimension was used because the authors had other supported data on non- suicidal self- injuries. This article did not have any other supporting data other than what the researches originally found. Other dimensions were not present in this article.
