Final answer:

An experiment in applied behavior analysis typically involves an independent variable, dependent variable, control group, and experimental group.

Step-by-step explanation:

An experiment in applied behavior analysis typically has four main components: independent variable, dependent variable, control group, and experimental group. The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the experimenter. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured to see how the independent variable affects it. The control group serves as a baseline comparison and does not receive the experimental manipulation, while the experimental group receives the manipulation being tested. These components together allow researchers to draw conclusions and make causal statements based on the results of the experiment.
