behavior analysis
Behavior analysis is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on the relationship between observable actions and the consequences that follow, using principles from psychology and learning theory. This method is often applied in various fields, including education, therapy, and animal training.
One key aspect of behavior analysis is the use of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which is commonly used to help individuals with autism spectrum disorder improve their social, communication, and learning skills. By systematically observing and modifying behavior, practitioners aim to promote positive changes and enhance overall functioning.
