Professional practice of behavior analysis
The professional practice of behavior analysis is a domain of behavior analysis, the others being radical behaviorism, experimental analysis of behavior and applied behavior analysis. The practice of behavior analysis is the delivery of interventions to consumers that are guided by the principles of radical behaviorism and the research of both experimental and applied behavior analysis. Professional practice seeks to change specific behavior through the implementation of these principles.
Behavioral cusp
A behavioral cusp is any behavior change that brings an organism's behavior into contact with new contingencies that have far-reaching consequences. A behavioral cusp is a special type of behavior change because it provides the learner with opportunities to access new reinforcers, new contingencies, new environments, new related behaviors (generativeness) and competition with archaic or problem behaviors. It affects the people around the learner, and these people agree to the behavior change and support its development after the intervention is removed.
Child development
Child development involves the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the conclusion of adolescence. Childhood is divided into three stages of life which include early childhood, middle childhood, and late childhood (preadolescence). Early childhood typically ranges from infancy to the age of 6 years old. During this period, development is significant, as many of life's milestones happen during this time period such as first words, learning to crawl, and learning to walk.
Behavioral engineering
Behavioral engineering, also called applied behavior analysis, is intended to identify issues associated with the interface of technology and the human operators in a system and to generate recommended design practices that consider the strengths and limitations of the human operators. "The behavior of the individual has been shaped according to revelations of 'good conduct' never as the result of experimental study." Watson wrote in 1924 "Behaviorism ... holds that the subject matter of human psychology is the behavior of the human being.
Child development stages
Child development stages are the theoretical milestones of child development, some of which are asserted in nativist theories. This article discusses the most widely accepted developmental stages in children. There exists a wide variation in terms of what is considered "normal", caused by variations in genetic, cognitive, physical, family, cultural, nutritional, educational, and environmental factors. Many children reach some or most of these milestones at different times from the norm.
Analyse fonctionnelle (psychologie)
L'analyse fonctionnelle est utilisée en psychothérapie cognitivo-comportementale afin de déterminer quel problème traiter, et de quelle manière. C'est la première étape d'une telle psychothérapie, déterminant la suite, donc le succès ou l'échec de la thérapie. L'analyse fonctionnelle tenant un tel rôle clé, les psychothérapeutes la développent rigoureusement. L'analyse fonctionnelle à proprement parler est une analyse quantitative, tant actuelle (ou synchronique) - c'est-à-dire concernant les problèmes actuels - qu'historique (ou diachronique) - autrement dit considérant les antécédents.
Analyse appliquée du comportement
L'analyse du comportement appliquée, siglée ABA, en anglais Applied Behavior Analysis, se définit comme la science dans laquelle les techniques dérivées du béhaviorisme sont appliquées systématiquement afin d'améliorer des comportements socialement significatifs, et dans laquelle l'expérimentation est utilisée pour identifier les variables explicatives du comportement. L'analyse appliquée du comportement a remplacé la modification du comportement » (behavior modification) car cette dernière approche tentait de changer le comportement sans clarifier les interactions sous-jacentes avec l'environnement.
Behavior modification
Behavior modification is an early approach that used respondent and operant conditioning to change behavior. Based on methodological behaviorism, overt behavior was modified with consequences, including positive and negative reinforcement contingencies to increase desirable behavior, or administering positive and negative punishment and/or extinction to reduce problematic behavior. It also used Flooding desensitization to combat phobias.
Béhaviorisme
Le béhaviorisme ou comportementalisme est un paradigme de la psychologie scientifique selon lequel le comportement observable est essentiellement conditionné soit par les mécanismes de réponse réflexe à un stimulus donné, soit par l'histoire des interactions de l'individu avec son environnement, notamment les punitions et renforcements par le passé. L'approche béhavioriste vise à mettre au jour des relations statistiquement significatives entre les variables de l'environnement et les mesures du comportement étudié sans faire appel au psychisme comme mécanisme explicatif.
