Question 1: Effective

Answer:

It must improve the behavior under investigation to a practical degree

Question 2: Behavioral

Answer:

Behavior chosen must be the behavior in need of improvement, must be measurable, and must analysis whose behavior actually changed if there is a change in behavior

Question 3: Habituation

Answer:

process of gradually diminishing response strength

Question 4: Punisher

Answer:

A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of the behavior that immediately proceeds it

Question 5: Response

Answer:

"action of an organism's effector" A specific instance of behavior

Question 6: Determinism

Answer:

Science is predicted on the assumption of it. Presume that the universe is lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other events.

Question 7: Three levels of scientific understanding

Answer:

description, prediction, and control

Question 8: Experimentation

Answer:

The basic strategy of most sciences. experiment: a carefully conducted comparison of some measure of phenomena of interest(DV) under two or more different conditions in which only one factor at a time (IV) differs from one condition to the next

Question 9: hypothetical constructs

Answer:

presumed but unobserved entities that could not be manipulated in an experiment

Question 10: Accuracy (of measurement)

Answer:

The extent to which observed values, the data produced by measuring an event, match the true state, or true values, of the event as it exists in nature

Question 11: Philosophic Doubt

Answer:

Requires the scientist to continually question the truthfulness of what is regarded as fact. Scientific knowledge must always be viewed as tentative

Question 12: Applied behavior analysis (ABA)

Answer:

The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior& experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior

Question 13: Conceptually systematic

Answer:

The procedures for changing behavior and any interpretations of how or why these procedures were effective should be described in terms of the relevant principle from which they were derived

Question 14: Behavior

Answer:

The activity of living organisms. Human behavior- everything that people do.

Question 15: Response class

Answer:

A group of responses with the same function (each response in the group produces the same effect on the environment

Question 16: Attitudes of Science

Answer:

determinism, empiricism, experimentation, replication, parsimony, and philosophic doubt.

Question 17: Generality

Answer:

When it lasts over time, appears in environments other than the one where the intervention was implemented, and/or spreads to other behaviors not being directly treated by the interventions

Question 18: Analytic

Answer:

experimenter has to demonstrate a functional relation between the manipulated events and a reliable change in some measurable dimension of the targeted behavior. Must be able to control the occurrence and nonoccurence of the behavior

Question 19: Baseline

Answer:

A condition of an experiment in which the IV isn't present. data obtained here is used to determine the effects of the IV

Question 20: Empiricism

Answer:

scientific knowledge is built on, above all, this. The practice of objective observation on the phenomena of interest.

Question 21: Methodological behaviorism

Answer:

Acknowledge the existence of mental events but do not consider them in the analysis of behavior

Question 22: Respondent behavior

Answer:

behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli. Induced, or brought on, by a stimulus that proceeds it.

Question 23: Replication

Answer:

The repeating of experiments (as well as repeating IV conditions within experiments to determine reliability and usefulness.

Question 24: Radical behaviorism

Answer:

Skinner, wanted to understand all human behavior, both external and observable behavior and internal "private events"

Question 25: Applied

Answer:

means ABA's commitment to affecting improvements in behaviors that enhance and improve people's lives. To meet criterion- must select behaviors to change that are socially significant for participants to improve their day-to-day lives
