The History of the World: Part 2 Justin Daigle, MA, BCBA, LBA ClinicalDirector
Step 1: The Nobel Prize • RussianScientistthat won Nobel Prize in science is to blame for ABA! • Whilestuding the digestive process, henoticedsomethingodd. • Pavlovdiscoveredwhatisnowcalled « ClassicalConditioning » • Notice thereis no consequence S R Stimulus Response
Step 2: Laying Down the Law • E.L. Thorndike usedPavlovianprinciples to createdwhatisnowcalled The Law of Effect . • It was first published in 1905 • Discoveredthiseffect by putting a cat in a puzzle box and observing the cat’sbehavior.
Step 2: Laying Down the Law • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk6H7Ukp6To • Thorndike - Law of Effect • Now we have a consequence and the beginning of a Skinner Box
Step 3: Skinner • BF Skinner tookwhat Thorndike created and decided to takeit a stepfuthur. • Instead of cats and puzzle boxes, Skinner used rats and Skinner boxes. • Coined the termslikereinforcement and punishment • Startedthinking about how theseprinicplescouldbeapplied
Step 3: Skinner • (According to Justin) • Skinner’stwobiggest contributions • Shaping by Succesive Approximations • Function S R P Stimulus Response Postcedant A B C Antecedent Behavior Consequence
Step 4: Skinner Ain’tAlone • Skinner was a great PR person for histheory of Behaviorismand what has been called Radical • But R.J. Herrnsteinwasalsoworking off of Thorndike’s Law of Effect • Herrnsteindiscoveredwhatisnowcalled the Matching Law • Matching Law iscomplicated, but I willattempt to explain • Matching Law leads to DifferentialReinforcement
Step 4: Skinner Ain’tAlone • Skinner helped to defineAppliedBehaviorAnalysis • Herrnsteinhelped to define the ExperimentalAnalysis of Behavior • JABA and JAEB (the twinjournals of BehaviorAnalysis)
Step 5: Lovaas • O. IvarLovaashad an idea! What if wetakewelearnedfrom: • Pavlov • Skinner • Thorndike • Herrnstein • What if weappliedit to individualswithAutism and otherDevelpmentalDelays?
Step 5: Lovaas • Nowthatyou’vereadLovaas’slandmarkstudy, let’s talk about his contribution
Summary • Skinner gets a lot of credit, thoughheisonly one of a long line reseraches • Many put the official date of origin at 1913 – the year Watson publishedPsychology as the BehavioristViews It. (Requiredreading in Intern 2)
Summary • As we move forward, a fluencyisexpected in the use of somecommontermssuch as stimuli, antecedent, postcedent, function, topography, response, & behavior. • Knowing the background helps.
