In the field of applied behavior analysis, ABC stands for Antecedent-Behavior-Co

In the field of applied behavior analysis, ABC stands for Antecedent-Behavior-Consequent. ABC analysis involves understanding the stimuli for behavior and the subsequent events that may act as reinforcement. Last week, you began to explore Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence analysis and how it can be used to help individuals examine behaviors they want to change. By identifying behaviors and understanding the triggers and impact of those behaviors, we better understand the “function” of the behavior and can, therefore, develop and implement more efficacious behavior change strategies. Also, you started an ABC analysis  on a behavior from your own life. This week, you will complete that ABC analysis and finalize for submission.
