What is ABA design?

Answer 1

ABA design, also known as the reversal design, is a research methodology commonly used in behavior analysis to evaluate the effects of an intervention on a specific behavior. It involves three phases: the baseline phase (A), where the behavior is measured without intervention; the intervention phase (B), where a treatment is introduced to modify the behavior; and a return to the baseline phase (A), where the treatment is withdrawn to assess whether the behavior reverts to its original state. This design helps demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention by comparing behavior patterns across the different phases.
