Philosophical Foundations — Master Domain A of the BCBA Exam
Unlock the deeper “why” behind behavior analysis with the Philosophical Foundations guide, covering Domain A of the 6th Edition BCBA Task List. This guide explains the goals of behavior analysis (description, prediction, control) and digs deep into the seven philosophical assumptions like determinism, empiricism, replication, and pragmatism. You’ll also learn how to apply these principles to real-life client decision-making.
It clearly outlines the branches of ABA (EAB, behaviorism, applied practice) and helps you understand radical behaviorism and its relevance to ethical and effective practice. If you struggle with abstract concepts like selectionism, parsimony, or philosophical doubt, this guide brings clarity through real-world application examples.
