The hard science behind ABA! (single subject research part 1)

[@Marie_CT]

Start at 3:48, but this helped. Thank you. I was lost in the sauce for a couple of minutes, but grasped the overall concept.

great explanations very thorough

[@samsonmettler8456]

To say we aren't related to psychology is largely ignoring our history. B.F. Skinner was a psychologist, behaviorism in psychology is the study of behavior and we base most of our treatment plans off of operant conditioning (Pos neg punishment reinforcement), which is also a psychological term. I understand the need to distinguish us as a hard science but the majority of our science is based on old psychological findings, and to say we arent is just incorrect

Ooof. The core philosophy is so different I cannot in any way agree that they are the same science. Related? Sure. Sharing some common ancestry, yes. But the point of divergence in the early 1900s is so strong that it’s undeniable. I great read on the topic is Chiesa and her Radical Behaviorism book. You can all see the divergence outlined in Borings classic text in history of the science. But to be fair - many terms are shared. As you point out.

I love how you explained it. I've been having problems understanding single-subject design.

I think biology and psychology are both combined within the profession of Special Education. However, It has embedded soft and hard sciences in the practice of he special education.

Great explanation of why it’s called single subject but it’s still not exactly rudimentary.

It would be nice to have a link to part 2 in the description box.

great job on making learning seem so easy and fun. You got the cncepts right and have a particular way of teaching them which is relatable and totally makes sense.

Thank you!! 20 years of teaching this content and the shaping still isn’t finished. 😉

Absolutely appreciating these videos. They are really helping put life into the very dry explanation in the book.
