7 Dimensions of ABA
- Applied
- Behaviour
- Analytic
- Technological
- Conceptually Systematic
- Effective
- Generality
Applied
ABA studies behaviours that are socially important
Behaviour
ABA directly measures what people do, it’s observed, measured, and operationally defined
Analytic
ABA shows that intervention used is responsible for behaviour change observed
Technological
Intervention must be described well enough that others could replicate it
Conceptually systematic
Must explain how behavioural interventions work with respect to behavioural principles
Effective
Must show clinically significant effect
Generality
Must bring about behaviour change that lasts over time and in various different environments
Creating behaviour change plan (7)
- Operationally define target behaviour
- Take baseline data and graph
- Determine behavioural objective
- Decide intervention
- Implement intervention
- Take data and graph
- Evaluate effect of treatment

- Rate
- Duration
- Intensity
- Latency
