Answer:

Variable-Time Schedule (VT) Question 2: The absence of responding for a period of time following reinforcement

Answer:

Postreinforcement Pause

Question 3: The force or intensity with which a response is emitted

Answer:

Magnitude Question 4: The frequency and extent to which multiple measures of behavior yield different outcomes

Answer:

Variability

Question 5: A line drawn through a series of graphed data points that shows the overall trend; through intersections of vertical and horizontal middles then adjusted so that half of data points fall above and below line

Answer:

Split-middle line of progress Question 6: A system whereby participants earn generalized conditioned reinforcers as an immediate consequence for specific behaviors, accumulate them, and exchange them for backup reinforcers

Answer:

Token economy Question 7: A two-phase experimental design consisting of a pre-treatment baseline condition followed by a treatment condition

Answer:

A-B Design

Question 8: The objective observation of the phenomena of interest

Answer:

Empiricism Question 9: An experimental design in which an initial baseline phase is folloed by a series of treatment phases consisting of successive and gradually changing criteria for reinforcement or punishment

Answer:

Changing Criterion Design Question 10: Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

Answer:

Negative Reinforcement

Question 11: all of the behaviors a person can do

Answer:

Repertoire

Question 12: An increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented.

Answer:

Extinction Burst Question 13: The particular type and sequence of conditions in a study so that meaningful comparisons of the effects of the presence and absence (or different values) of the independent variable can be made.

Answer:

Experimental Design Question 14: 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

Answer:

Accuracy Question 15: Someone who engages in verbal behavior by emitting mands, tacts, intraverbals, autoclitics, and so on

Answer:

Speaker Question 16: A sequence of responses in which each response produces a stimulus change that functions as conditioned reinforcement for that response and as a discriminative stimulus for the next response

Answer:

Behavior Chain Question 17: The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior

Answer:

Applied Behavior Analysis

Question 18: Data that shows no evidence of an upward or downward trend

Answer:

Stable baseline

Question 19: A carefully controlled comparison of some measure of the phenomenon of interest (DV) under two or more different conditions in which only one factor at a time (IV) differs from one condition to another

Answer:

Experimentation Question 20: An elementary verbal operant evoked by a noverbal discriminative stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement

Answer:

Tact Question 21: An antecedent intervention in which an appropriate communicative behavior is taught as a replacement behavior for problem behavior usually evoked by an (EO); involves

(DRA).

Answer:

Functional Communication Training Question 22: Any unintended change in the way an observer uses a measurement system over the course of an investigation that results in measurement error

Answer:

Observer drift Question 23: An experiment in which the researcher attempts to duplicate exactly the conditions of an earlier experiment

Answer:

Direct replication Question 24: A systematic approach to natural phenomena that relies on determinism: fundamental assumption, empiricism: primary rule, experimentation: basic strategy, replication: believability, parsimony: value, and philosophic doubt: guiding conscience

Answer:

Science Question 25: A group of stimuli that share specified common elements along formal, temporal, and/or functional dimensions

Answer:

Stimulus Class
