Applied Behavior Analysis

I may be a study nerd, but I have to say that I REALLY enjoy studying ABA in this 3rd edition Cooper et al text. It is of course the gold standard to all tiers of Board certification. I’ve been using a popular study manual, which was adequate for preparing on a lower level. But I have to say the depth of information presented in this text makes the concepts easier to understand and cements them more firmly in my memory, as well as giving me a basis for actually preparing to work with concepts - far and away this is of course a much better preparation for both the certification and for working application. It could be due to my particular background, which is already heavy in most of these concepts. Or maybe my distractability doesn’t work well with the other study manual. But I find this book very engrossing and engaging. Of course no need for me to comment on it’s completeness or adherence to standards, that’s already well known. The cover is strong, the binding good. The print really is a bit small, but most of it is very readable. In some cases info on illustrations or some italicized or other non-standard fonts are a bit difficult to read. All I can say is that I’m very glad I purchased this textbook. It’s well worth the money and the prices I found on Amazon were reasonable. I did have to wait a bit for it to arrive back in stock, but less than two weeks. Overall very pleased.

A need book for school.

As a student in an ABA masters program, I keep this book with me. It is like the Bible for ABA students. A must have, for sure. The only thing is, I wish they would consider publishing it divided into two volumes because it is so heavy in my backpack lol. But it’s wonderful and the information is presented in a logical way that makes it easy to reference. There is a very nice, comprehensive glossary of terms in the back (you’re gonna want that 🙂) which the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis lacks. I recommend this textbook over the handbook and I recommend to anyone studying applied behavior analysis. The 3rd edition has many updates.

This was the best pricing of this book that I can find that wasn’t completely used. It was in good quality and came with a cute magnetic book mark!

Had to return the first order, the spine was damaged. Returned and sent replacement. This book is thick and heavy! I also own the second edition and it’s not near as thick. Don’t know if a different type of paper was used or what, but it’s super thick and heavy compared to my other. Amazon was quick to deliver, and were responsive to my first complaint. Regarding the subject matter, the book should be a must-have for those in the behavior analytic field. There’s a reason it’s named the “ABA Bible.”

I ordered a physical copy of this book but it was so clunky. Enjoyed the kindle version for school!

I bought the digital copy of the book and on the first day realized that my old brain can’t process ABA digitally. The book was delivered a day ahead of quoted delivery date despite it being a holiday weekend! The book was in immaculate condition!

Ho modificato indirizzo dell'ordine e, senza spesa aggiuntiva, è arrivato nel giorno stabilito! Ottimo.

Maravilhoso

If you’re a behaviour analyst or on your way to becoming one, you need this book. No questions asked. Just buy it.

Worth it

A must have for any aspiring behavior analyst. Very comprehensive and well written book. Very excited to have this resource.
