Consider this week's readings and the review of the scientific principles and goals of Applied Behavior Analysis. Reflect on the information about the goals of the science in the field, your role as a Scientist-Practitioner, and the necessary focus on the social validity and client quality of life.

1. Provide a well-supported discussion of how all the elements are interrelated.

What challenges or questions come to mind when you think about integrating these aspects of science and practice for the benefit of the client?

2. Select a behavior (your own, a child, partner, parent, student, etc.) to practice developing an operational definition of a problem behavior, and a desired replacement behavior.

Discuss the social significance of the behaviors, how they could impact one's quality of life, and to what degree the behaviors can be analyzed, based on Schlinger's (2017) considerations.
