If you wonder, how does science work? The simpler answer would be, it works based on three set goals.
1. Description
2. Prediction
3. Control.
In ABA, we follow this basic goals of science as ABA is a science-based procedure to change a behaviour in a therapeutic way. We first observe a target behaviour, take sufficient data to see the pattern or any specific trigger, then come to a conclusion to predict that if 'X' happens, then 'Y' occurs. Finally, to control, we plan a program/ procedure to change the behaviour in a desired way.
For example, I observed, Rajhongsho calling me after 11 pm, when I need to sleep. I anticipated that he calls me late because, he thinks that I am relaxed and available at that time. To control this behaviour in a desired way, now I talk to him happily , lovingly, and in a more relaxed way only when he calls me before 11 pm.
