Domain A – Philosophical Assumptions (A-2)

Revision Added June 2025

We have added the following clarification to ensure alignment with both the BACB Task List and widely recognized texts in the field:

Disclaimer:
The BACB’s official 6th Edition Task List (Task Area A-2) identifies five core philosophical assumptions: selectionism, determinism, empiricism, parsimony, and pragmatism. In addition, many recognized BCBA exam prep materials and Cooper, Heron & Heward’s Applied Behavior Analysis include experimentation, replication, and philosophical doubt as part of A-2’s conceptual framework.

While “functional relation” is not listed as a philosophical assumption in the BACB Task List, it is foundational to understanding behavior–environment relationships in experimental and applied analysis. For this reason, the curriculum uses a broader framing — alongside BACB-required content — to ensure a comprehensive, exam-aligned, and practice-relevant foundation.
