What is ABA?
The seven dimensions of ABA identified in your text and the Baer, Wolf, and Risley article, are the guiding principles for the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. As a developing professional, it is important to understand the dimensions because each one is relevant to the work of a behavior analyst.
For this assignment, refer to the following articles assigned in the study for this unit:
Krentz, Miltenberger, and Valbuena’s “Using Token Reinforcement to Increase Walking for Adults With Intellectual Disabilities.”
Marsic, Berman, Barry, and McCloskey’s “The Relationship Between Intentional Self-Injurious Behavior and the Loudness Dependence of Auditory Evoked Potential in Research Volunteers.”
Then complete the following:
Identify which of the articles is behavior analytic and which is not, and provide an explanation for your choice.
Be sure to identify which of the seven dimensions of ABA are present in the behavior analytic article.
Analyze why the other article is not behavior analytic. How do you know the seven dimensions are not present?

Let’s discuss the cost of attending college. Some of the more common expenses that come to mind include the explicit costs of tuition, books, and room and board. But what about the implicit costs or what are known as opportunity costs? Even though these are implicit costs, they most certainly are real costs!
Let’s explore the idea that cost is not always an explicit payment but also a loss. Considering this what would you list as implicit or opportunity costs that you have incurred as a result of your decision to attend school?
What would be some opportunity costs if you decided not to attend college?
Explain why scarcity leads to tradeoffs. Explain why individuals make choices that are directly on the budget constraint, rather than inside the budget constraint or outside it.
Welcome to Week 2. Hopefully you survived the first week of classes! This week we’ll be looking at the Constitution and shared power!
