Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and Autism
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)is a system of autism treatment based on behaviorist theories which, simply put, state that behaviors can be taught through a system of rewards and consequences. The Lovaas Institute explains the concept in this way:
- Applied - principles applied to socially significant behavior
- Behavioral - based on scientific principles of behavior
- Analysis - progress is measured and interventions modified
How ABA Works
The Lovaas Method of ABA starts with "discrete trials" therapy (sometimes referred to just as "dicrete").. A discrete trial consists of a therapist asking a child for a particular behavior (for example, "Johnny, please pick up the spoon). If the child complies, he is given a "reinforcer" or reward in the form of a tiny food treat, a high five, or any other reward that means something to the child. If the child does not comply, he does not receive the reward, and the trial is repeated.
- The ABA existed from 1967 to 1976 -- for nine full seasons. During that time, the ABA fought a bitter war with the established National Basketball Association (the NBA) for players, fans, and media attention. In June 1976, the two rival pro leagues finally made peace. Four of the strongest ABA teams (the New York Nets, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, and San Antonio Spurs) joined the NBA and survived. The other remaining ABA teams (such as the Kentucky Colonels, the Spirits of St. Louis, and the Virginia Squires) vanished, along with the ABA itself.
- Abscisic acid (ABA)
Unlike animals, plants cannot flee from potentially harmful conditions like
- drought
- the approach of winter
They must adapt or die.
The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is the major player in mediating the adaptation of the plant to stress.
- Aba is a city in Abia State, southern Nigeria, located on the Aba River. As of 2005 it had a population of 897,613.
