Question 1: Contingency

Answer:

A dependency between events when one relies on the other.

Question 2: Parsimony

Answer:

Requires that all simple, logical explanations for the phenomena of interest be ruled out experimentally before more complex or abstract explanations are considered

Question 3: Prediction

Answer:

Given X , what will be the value of Y

Question 4: What is behavior determined by?

Answer:

Inherited biological factors, the organism's experiential history with his or her environment and the organism's current environment.

Question 5: Control

Answer:

Manipulating the value of X until we get the desired value of Y

Question 6: Determinants of behavior

Answer:

Causes of behavior, probablistic

Question 7: Phylogenic

Answer:

Basic process by which operant learning occurs; consequences (stimulus changes before

Question 8: Experimentation

Answer:

The systematic manipulation of an independent variable (environmental event) and observing and measuring one or more dependent variables (behavior) while controlling extraneous (irrelevant, seperate) variables.

Question 9: Social Science

Answer:

Hypothetical constructs outside of the natural realm, indirect observation and measurement

Question 10: Selection

Answer:

The process in which repeated cycles occur of variation, interaction with the environment, and differential replication as a function of the interaction

Question 11: Consequential Operation (+)

Answer:

Contingently present a stimulus immediately after the response

Question 12: Radical Behavioralism

Answer:

B.F. Skinner's philopsophy of the science of human behavior. Most influential type of behaviorism for guiding the science and practice of behavior analysis Rejects mentalism.

Question 13: Consequential Operation (-)

Answer:

Contingently remove a stimulus immediately after the response

Question 14: Science

Answer:

A systematic approach for seeking and organizing knowledge about the natural world

Question 15: hylogenic

Answer:

Determinants are also referred to as hylogenic. Due to the history of the species.

Answer:

Natural selection, operant selection and cultural selection.

Question 24: Selectionism

Answer:

The process in which repeated cycles occurr.

Question 25: What is contiguity an important factor in?

Answer:

Learning It is always the amount of time between a response and a consequence..

Question 26: Learning

Answer:

A relatively permanent change in behavior as a result of an experience

Answer:

Contingencies of Reinforcement
