Being able to demonstrate a functional relation between the manipulated events, and a reliable change in some measurable dimension of the targeted behaviour.
Using our data collection, can we clearly show we have made a change in the behaviour.
We are concerned with the observable. All behaviour is observable and measurable. If we have clear, objective, observable and measurable behaviour, we can collect meaningful data, create interventions and test to see whether those interventions make a difference, and prove the effectiveness of what we have done.
We need to ensure that was we do in one particular environment, can be generalised and maintained to another environment, person, object etc.
The work we do, needs to be of socially, significant importance. That is, it needs to be relevant to the individual and make a change that will impact and make their life, and the people surrounding them lives, better.
This dimension focuses on the need for techniques and interventions being related to some sort of theoretical base. Applied Behaviour Analysis has a long history of being evidence-based. This makes for more meaningful and effective interventions – they are not just being pulled out of nowhere, there is already some semblance of reasoning there.
We constantly take data on what we are
doing, so we can see if what we are doing,
is working. If it is not working, then we can
review and see what we need to change,
and where, so that we can ensure we are
not spending time, money and resources
on something that is not working.
This dimension involves being able to replicate previous experiments, and achieve the same results.
