positive or negative reinforcement.

manage, or reduce behaviors for all living organisms, including groups.

relations between environment and behavior.
What are the six major components of ABA? - ANSWER 1. ABA is guided by the attitudes
and methods of scientific inquiry.

manner.
3. Not all means of changing behavior qualify as ABA; only those derived from the basic
principles of behavior.
4. Focus on socially significant behavior.
5. Meaningful improvement in important behavior.
6. Analyze the factors responsible for improvement.
Classical Conditioning: - ANSWER - Most commonly associated with Pavlov's dogs.

learning history

hungry
