    Objectives:

    Be familiar with the basic characteristics ofscience

    Be able to identify and define the basiccharacteristics of applied behavior analysis

    Know the difference between operant and

    respondent conditioning Look over new terms and definitions thatare introduced in this lecture

    Introduction

    Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)Discipline devoted to the understanding and

    improvement of human behavior

    Dimensions of ABA

    Applied the behavior in question is important to the subject and/orsociety.

    Behavioral in need of improvement, measurable, and whosebehavior is changed.

    Analytic when the experimenter has demonstrated a functionalrelation

    Effective improved to a practical degree Conceptually systematic procedures are related to basic principles

    of behavior Technological procedures are completely identified and described Generality lasts over time, appears in other environments, or

    spreads to other behaviors

    The science of behavior

    theoretical foundations

    Basic characteristics of science

    Determinism the universe is a lawful andorderly place

    Empiricism the practice of objectiveobservation

    Parsimony the simplest explanation Scientific manipulation - research Philosophic doubt continually questioning what

    is regarded as fact

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    9/152

    The science of behavior

    Seeks to discover laws or statements that

    describe functional behavior environment

    relationships

    Or

    Basic principles of behavior a basic

    functional relationship between behaviorand

    its controlling variables

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    10/152

    Basically....

    We can encourage appropriate behavior or

    discourage inappropriate behavior just by

    making changes in our environment

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    11/152

    By understanding basic principles of

    behavior, you can produce better

    outcomes because you will be skilled at

    increasing and decreasing behaviors

    A Brief History Lesson...

    Pavlov (1903)Respondent conditioning

    Watson (1913)Stimulus-Response psychology

    Skinner (1938)Operant conditioning

    Some terms and definitions

    Stimulus(S) specific aspects of the environment

    that can be differentiated from one another

    Response(R) a specific instance of a particular

    behavior

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    16/152

    Respondent Behavior

    Respondent behavior provides each

    organism with a set of built-in responses to

    specific stimuli; these are behaviors theindividual organism would not have time to

    learn.

    Respondent behavior is defined as behaviorthat is elicited by antecedent stimuli(SR)

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    Examples of respondent

    behavior

    Pupil contraction

    Changes in heart rate and respiration

    Blinking

    In summary,

    Respondent behavior is elicited by astimulus

    New stimuli acquire control overrespondent behaviors through pairing ofan unconditioned stimulus with a neutralstimulus

    Respondents make up only a smallpercentage of behaviors of interest

    Different Types of Consequences

    Reinforcement - increases future probability ofa behavior reoccurring

    Two types of reinforcement

    Positive reinforcement

    and

    Negative reinforcement

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    48/152

    Two types of reinforcement (cont)

    Positive refers to the application or delivery

    of a stimulus contingent upon a response

    Negative refers to the removalof astimulus contingent upon a response

    Positive = giving

    Negative = taking away

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    Two types of reinforcement

    Because reinforcement always results in

    an increase in behavior, regardless of

    whether reinforcement is positive or

    negative - behavioralways increases

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    Four Functions of Behavior

    Attention a behavior that is maintained by the attention of others Attention may include a corrective statement, eye contact, body posture,

    facial expression, etc.

    Tangible - A behavior that is maintained by the presentation of anobject (are you getting something: shopping----get new cloths)

    Escape/Avoidance Escape terminates an existing stimulus Avoidance- when a response avoids, rather than terminates, a stimulus

    Sensory - a behavior that is maintained by the internal stimulationproduced by the behavior

    Review: Response ClassA set ofbehaviors related by their

    functional similarity

    Crying, yelling, and rolling around on the floor all lead

    to. The teacher coming over and telling the studentto stop. Attention

    Swearing at the teacher, hitting another student, orspitting at another student all lead to. The teacher

    sending the student to the principals office. Escape from work

    Response Class

    Think of a set of your behaviors. Describe

    to the person next to you how they look

    different, but you still receive the sameconsequence each time one of those

    behaviors is displayed.

    What is an

    Operational Definition? Identifying and defining a specific behavior

    so that it will be measured consistently

    from observer to observer. An operational definition often includes

    active verbs describing specific behaviors

    that a person exhibits; it is objective andunambiguous.

    1. Problem Definition

    Even the best intervention strategy

    is doomed if it is applied to an

    improperly defined target behavior(Reynolds, Gutkin, Elliott, & Witt, 1984, p. 186)

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    Observational Assessment:

    Step 1 Define the Problem Obtain global description of behavior (when happen,when does not)

    Describe settings or conditions where behavior seems

    to occur Develop (or select) an operational definition of

    behavior and setting variables Clear, behavioral, observable description

    Examples and non-examples

    Check social validity of definitions

    Time Sampling Inter al Recording

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    127/152

    Time Sampling Interval Recording

    Observation period divided into equal time intervals Record whether target behavior has occurred Effective when discrete beginning and end difficult Allows for approximations of behavior

    Allows for observing multiple behaviors, high rate behaviors,and steady rate behaviors

    Allows calculation of percent of intervals Used to record behaviors that are frequently present and

    when there is limited time for observation

    Most appropriate for behaviors that are ongoing, frequent(e.g., talking out, standing up on the bus, tantrum)

    Whole Interval

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    128/152

    Whole Interval

    Target behavior is occurring throughout entire interval Best used with continuous behaviors and/or short intervals Best to use with behaviors wanting to increase Tends to underestimate Useful as an estimate of behaviors in a specified time

    period. Dont have a clear onset and offset. Used forbehaviors that continue for longer periods of time andduration recording is not used.

  • 8/14/2019 Analisis del comportamiento humano (1)

    Best with low rates of behavior and/or inconsistent

    duration Tends to overestimate low rate behaviors

    Best for behaviors attempting to decrease

    Useful for recording behaviors in a specified time

    period. Dont have a clear onset and offset. Resultsin an estimate.Used for high-frequency behaviors.
