Hello! This podcast will cover Chapter 2 of our textbook, Applied Behavior Analysis, by Cooper, Heron, and Heward. This episode covers the philosophical foundations of ABA, including selectionism, determinism, parsimony, and pragmatism, and their connection to the scientific method. We break down conditioning types, the importance of stimulus and response classes, and practical applications like classroom interventions. Finally, we discuss stimulus control, ethical challenges, and strategies for refining behavioral interventions.
