Application of respondent and operant conditioning to change behavior
Aba
Applied behavior analysis (ABA), also referred to as behavioral engineering, is a psychological discipline that uses respondent and operant conditioning to change human and animal behavior.
ABA is the applied form of behavior analysis; the other two are: radical behaviorism and experimental analysis of behavior, which focuses on basic experimental research.
