Behavior analysis is the science of behavior along a continuum of basic to applied learning processes, both operant and respondent. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is concerned with the improvement and understanding of human behavior. It is the science in which strategies derived from the principals of basic behavior analysis are applied systematically to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for change (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007). This course focuses on basic concepts and methodologies involved in behavior analysis, and their relation to other theories of learning and behavior. This course is designed for individuals interested in learning from the perspective of behavior analysis and individuals who are interested in learning theory as it applies to individuals with significant cognitive and language impairments. This course is also designed to prepare students for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) exam.
