Скачать или смотреть Philosophical Foundations of Behavior Analysis | BACB 6th Edition Exam Review

Behind every effective ABA strategy is a set of philosophical assumptions that guide how behavior analysts think, research, and practice.

In this video, the Chief Clinical Officer at BDA, Dr. Pat Progar breaks down the philosophical foundations of behavior analysis—a key content area on the BACB 6th Edition Test Content Outline. These principles help explain why behavior analysis is both scientific and practical, and they frequently appear on the certification exam.

You’ll learn about:

Determinism – why behavior is lawful and predictable

Empiricism – the role of observation and data

Parsimony – choosing the simplest explanation that fits the evidence

Pragmatism – focusing on what works in real life

Selectionism – how behavior is shaped by consequences over time

According to the BACB, 8 exam questions are drawn from this philosophical foundations section—so you can reasonably expect 1–2 questions on these concepts.

Whether you’re studying for the BCBA or BCaBA exam, brushing up on foundations, or simply want a deeper understanding of ABA, this video makes complex philosophy clear, practical, and approachable.
