This revision of Miller's successful text has been extensively field tested, and is ideal for the freshman/sophomore level Behavioral Modification or Applied Behavior Analysis course. Light-hearted, yet comprehensive, this text uses generalization programming to teach students how to apply behavioral concepts to complex everyday situations. The author introduces, defines, and illustrates each behavior modification concept and then immediately engages students with recall questions and vignettes that show students how to apply concepts to the real world.

First Step to My Doctorate,
By Jeep (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Everyday Behavior Analysis (with Printed Access Card) (Paperback)
Principles of Everyday Behavior Analysis makes learning a basic behavioral repertoire virtually effortless. I am amused by the reviewer who gave this book one star because it was "dumbed down". I had this text in my first course in applied behavior analysis. It was the most pleasant learning experience I'd ever encountered, and made me a true believer in programmed instruction. It enabled me to acquire a good, solid, behavioral repertoire in a very short time. I went on to take numerous courses in ABA, including a course on BF Skinner's Science and Human Behavior, and his magnum opus, Verbal Behavior. I eventually earned my doctorate in experimental psychology from Boston University.

Great intro to ABA,
By nanchi09 (san francisco, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Everyday Behavior Analysis (Paperback)
This book builds on ideas, and not too quickly. For me, it was a bit too slow (I began to read it after being in the field for a year). But for someone who really knows nothing of ABA and needs to train their brains, go for it.
The quizzes are extremely thought out. If you are starting out as an ABA tutor or want to learn priniciples, it may be a good match. Sure, not rocket science, that's why I would recommend it only as an intro or refreshener of B A S I C S. Easy reading.

ABA Student must have,

This review is from: Principles of Everyday Behavior Analysis (with Printed Access Card) (Paperback)
This book made learning very easy and enjoyable. The format of this book is a pattern of repetition that forces you to remember the materials from various view points. This is a book I will keep for future reference.
