Applied Behavior Analysis is the study of socially significant human behavior.
I am what you would call a Radical Behaviorist, I consider even private events, such as thoughts, to be behavior.
If something is observable and countable then we can record it, predict it, influence it, and ultimately change it!
Historically, ABA has been implemented as an effective treatment for a wide variety of mental health and behavioral concerns. More recently, ABA has been utilized by sports psychologists, coaches, animal trainers, economists, urban planners, and parents of typically developing children.
ABA also includes things such as self-management. A favorite topic of mine!
ABA and the technologies from basic research and the applied field have much to offer the average person in everyday life. Having the tools to collect and analyze data, and make decisions based on that data, can keep anyone headed in the right direction to achieve their goals.
I will be adding resources to this page for you to use. Such as charts, self-awareness training tools, links to studies and much more! Please check back for updates.
