4 branches of behavior analysis ans: Conceptual analysis of behavior, ABA, Behavior Service Delivery,
and Experimental analysis of behavior (EAB)
ABA ans: refers to behavior analysts that assess, monitor, analyze, revise, and communicate the effects
of their work. They create behavior-change tactics that can increase behavior, teach and maintain
behavior, make behavior sensitive to environmental events, generalize behavior, reduce problem
behavior, etc.

the same depressive behaviors.
Conceptual analysis of behavior (AKA: behaviorism) ans: examines philosophical, theoretical, historical
and methodological issues.
Control (causation) ans: functional relation. The highest level of scientific understand.
Description ans: Systematic observations that can be quantified and classified.
Experimental analysis of behavior (EAB) ans: research on basic processes and principles. Done mainly in
laboratories.
habituation ans: when the eliciting stimulus is presented repeatedly over a short time, the strength of
the respondent behavior diminishes.
Mentalism (spiritual, psychics, subjective, feelings, attitudes, processing) ans: -an approach to explaining
behavior that assumes an inner dimension exists and causes behavior.
-traditional psychology has been and continues to be dominated by this.

consequences.
