Abstract
Baer, Wolf, and Risley’s (1968, 1987) seven dimensions of applied behavior analysis (ABA) have served the science and its practice well. ABA embodies five additional characteristics that should raise the spirits of those who study, teach, practice, and/or research this science and encourage decision makers and consumers in many domains to view ABA as a trustworthy technology for achieving socially significant behavior change. I will identify those characteristics and suggest several actions behavior analysts, regardless of role or career stage, can take to narrow the gap between ABA’s tremendous potential to help make the world a more humane place and the science’s much-too-limited impact to date.
Learning Objectives
After this session, attendees should be able to:
1. Name and give an example of any three of the five other characteristics of ABA identified in this talk.
2. Name three domains of socially significant behavior that prior to this talk, you did not know that ABA researchers have studied.
3. State and give an illustrative example of how you could do (or up your game performing) any two of the recommended actions for behavior analysts who want to help make the world a more humane place with behavior analysis.
