According to The Treatment Integrity of School Based Interventions With Children mentioned that “the field of applied behavior analysis has always rested on the fundamental principle that the empirical demonstration of measurable changes in behavior must be related to the systematic and controlled manipulations on the environment” (Mcintyre Lee L...et al, 2007, p. 659). Therefore, there are two theories that involved of applied behavior analysis which is classical conditioning and operant conditioning. To begin with, classical conditioning is one of the theories used in behavioral exercise presenting stimulus connected with a response. A neutral stimulus is linked with natural occurring stimulus. Also classical conditioning is a kind of learning that deals with behaviorism. Physiologist Ivan Pavlov from Russia mentioned that “classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus” (Cherry Kendra, 2014). Behaviorism is focused on the idea that learning comes with environmental interactions.
However, Pavlov made an experiment with the dog to response on stimulus. For instance, he put the food which was a stimulus right in front of the dog so the dog responded by salivating. Later on instead of the
