Principles Of Aba
This quiz deals with the principles of applied behaviour analysis (or ABA), which is a scientific discipline that concerns itself with developing techniques based on the principles of learning and applying these to change behaviour of social significance.

- A.
The presentation of a stimulus change that increases the future likelihood of the behavior
- B.
Withdrawal of a stimulus change that increases the future likelihood of the behavior
- C.
Withdrawal of a stimulus change that decreases the future likelihood of the behavior
- 5.What is positive reinforcement?
- A.
Presentation of stimulus change that increases the future likelihood of the behavior
- B.
Withdrawal of stimulus change that increases the future likelihood of the behavior
- C.
Presentation of the stimulus change that decreases the future likelihood of the behavior
