Applied Behavior Analysis (3rd Edition) – eBook

Description

Applied Behavior Analysis, 3^rd Edition (PDF) is your essential guide to mastering the intricate domain of behavior analysis. This thoroughly updated edition presents an expansive overview of the methodologies and theoretical frameworks essential for modifying and scrutinizing socially significant behaviors.

The 3rd Edition integrates recent advancements across the three pivotal spheres of behavioral sciences—basic research, theoretical explorations, and applied research. Notable features include the addition of two groundbreaking chapters: Equivalence-based Instruction (Ch. 19) and Engineering Emergent Learning with Nonequivalence Relations (Ch. 20). Additionally, this edition offers meticulously revised content on crucial topics such as motivation (Ch. 16), negative reinforcement (Ch. 12), verbal behavior (Ch. 18), functional behavioral assessment (Ch. 27), and ethics (Ch. 31). Importantly, the material aligns seamlessly with the BCBA® and BCABA® Behavior Analyst Task List, 5th Edition, ensuring it meets the highest educational standards.
