PSYC 180 OP01 - Introduction to
Behavioral Analysis
Course Description: Behavior
analysis is the study of behavior as a natural science. It
emerged from the psychology of learning, the subdiscipline within
psychology concerned with the study of classical and operant
conditioning. Today, behavior analysis has two main branches: the
experimental analysis of behavior (EAB) and applied behavior
analysis (ABA). EAB is the basic science of this field and over
many decades has accumulated a substantial; and well-respected
empirical research literature identifying fundamental principles of
behavior. This literature provides the scientific foundation
for ABA, which is (a) an applied science that develops methods of
changing behavior and (b) a profession that provides services to
meet diverse behavioral needs (what some might refer to as
behavioral technology). The philosophy of radical behaviorism
provides the conceptual and theoretical foundation for both
branches.
