#1. A high school cheerleader’s BCBA coach implements a self-management program to help her learn a complex routine for tryouts. The program is designed to achieve flawless performance of the entire routine, as this is necessary for her to make the team. After diligently following the intervention, the cheerleader is able to perform 80 of the routine correctly. However, this level of performance is insufficient for her to be selected for the team, meaning she did not meet her ultimate goal. Considering the seven dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis (Baer, Wolf, Risley, 1968), which dimension does this intervention most clearly lack?
The correct answer is Effective The dimension of Effective in ABA requires that an intervention produce significant practical and socially meaningful changes in behavior In this scenario while the cheerleader showed some improvement by learning 80 of the routine this change was not significant enough to achieve the stated goal of performing flawlessly and making the team For an intervention to be truly effective the behavior change must be of practical importance to the individual and those around them and reach a level that meets the socially valid objective Learning 80 of the routine though an improvement fails to meet the criteria of social validity and significance for this individuals goal Lets consider why the other options are incorrect Behavioral The intervention focuses on an observable and measurable behavior performing a cheer routine and the coach can change the intervention to modify this behavior This dimension is present Conceptually Systematic The coach is a BCBA and the use of a selfmanagement program suggests that the intervention is derived from basic principles of behavior analysis even tracking the behavior Based on the information given it appears to be conceptually systematic Technological This dimension requires that all procedures be described clearly and concisely so that they can be replicated by anyone with the necessary training and resources The text does not provide enough information to definitively state whether the intervention lacks this dimension it only focuses on the outcome Therefore we cannot conclude it lacks this aspect
