7 dimensions of ABA
Generality - results are durable and long lasting
Effective - techniques result in socially significantly change
Technological - procedures are clear and replicable
Analytic - prove relationships between behaviour and environment
Conceptually systematic - relate procedures to behavioural principles
Applied - make a difference of social importance
Behaviour - focus on observable and measurable behaviour
4 term contingency
Motivating operations - temporarily make a consequence more reinforcing, make it more likely a person will do something to achieve that consequence
Antecedent (SD)
Behaviour
Consequence
Consequences
Reinforcement - consueqnce that increases the frequency of the behaviour it followed, in future
Punishment - consequence that decreases the frequency of behaviour it followed, in future
Extinction - a reinforcement contingency is previously learned but now the reinforcing consequence is no longer provided. See an increase in behaviour before they decrease
RFT
Explains cog and learning
Explains covert internal behaviours
Explains how we derive, infer, comprehend, learn things that aren’t directly taught
Deriving relations step by step
Taught directly that that is a tilt table -Taught expressive label/ Tact
Indirectly learn the other way = mutual entailment/bidirectional naming symmetry/ receptive, listener skill

Principle of the UK-SBA code of ethical and professional conduct
Prioritise positive and proactive strategies
Our society is set up to punish (decrease) inappropriate behaviours rather than reinforce (increase) appropriate behaviours
Should be about upscaling and improving skills
Doesn’t condone use of procedures that are harmful degrading painful or dehumanising
Have to try everything else before using punishment
