applied behavior analysis is
multiple choice
the use of evolutionary ideas to explain specific human behaviors.
the use of psychoanalytic principles to explain behavior
the use of operant conditioning principles to change human behavior

Explanation:

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is rooted in behaviorism, specifically using operant conditioning (a core behaviorist principle focused on consequences to shape and modify behavior) to bring about targeted changes in human behavior. The other options describe different psychological/behavioral frameworks: evolutionary psychology, psychoanalysis, and altruism-focused behavioral prediction, which are not aligned with ABA's definition.
