I returned this item because it was the wrong edition. The seller was very accommodating and promptly credited my Amazon account.

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.

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.

Do not buy this book. It is the worst ABA text book Ive ever read. Buy "Behavior Modification" by Miltenberger or the new ABA book by cooper. This book is like an ABA textbook for highschoolers. Way too dumbed down and many outright incorrect definitions of basic principles.
The built in tests are awesome though. I wish more books would do that. It really helped me and my classmates learn the material. It was for an introductory course in ABA in a school psych program an National University, and luckily the program has more classes on ABA b/c this one was not so good.
