Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is the scientific application of established principles of operant behavior that branch out from the philosophical behavioral approach of behaviorism. The fundamental principles of applied behavior analysis are to target an individual's behavior to achieve a change that has application in the individual's real life. Furthermore, applied behavioral analysis seeks to uncover environmental variables that influence individual behavior and simultaneously demonstrate a functional relationship between the manipulated environmental behavior and the target behavior. The main subset of applied behavior analysis is “stimulus, operant conditioning, positive reinforcement and punishment, and consequences” The stimulus is the events and the relationship they have on the Individual Behavior. The stimulus relationship can be revealed through a method that the analyst behavioral called ABC analysis.The more formal term for this method is called “Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence” analysis is represented by the antecedent (events preceding the occurrence, behavior) and the Consequence (Events preceding a behavior). Behavioral analysis believes that these are fundamental to understanding behavior and the influence of events. Furthermore, the term operant conditioning behavior corresponds to the stimuli of the consequence. Furthermore, the consequence that precedes a behavior can be positive or negative of these stimuli is the ability to influence and influence the contingency of the individual target behavior. The main dynamic of applied behavior analysis is its ability to be able to measure behavior. The behavior is described as “The Dead Man's Rule” (if a dead man can do it, then it's not a behavior, the behavior must be obs... middle of the card...ba). Autism Therapy.
