Welcome back to ABA Chapter Chat!

After listening, try a few example questions from our comprehensive study guide below, and don’t forget to comment your answers!

In this episode of ABA Chapter Chat we take a deep dive into Chapter 7 of Applied Behavior Analysis by Cooper et. al. 3rd edition.

The chapter explains how ABA uses single-subject experimental designs, where individuals serve as their own controls, to determine functional relationships between behaviors and environmental variables.

The chapter details the importance of internal and external validity in research and introduces the steady-state strategy and baseline logic as essential components of experimental analysis.

Baseline logic involves three elements: prediction, verification, and replication; these steps are crucial for ensuring that observed behavior changes are truly attributable to the independent variable and not extraneous factors.

Take a deep dive into this chapter and test your knowledge with a few example questions from our comprehensive study guide. Be sure to comment your answers below! Happy listening!

1. What is experimental control, and how is it achieved in applied behavior analysis?

2. Why is it crucial to measure behavior change over time in applied behavior analysis?

3. What is the role of baseline data in single-subject research, and what are the different types of baseline patterns?
