Def./Characteristics
Cooper Chapter 1 CONTENT AREA TWO
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 is called | applied behavior analysis |
| The philosophy of a science of behavior is called | behaviorism |
| The assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena occur in relation to other events and not in a willy-nilly, accidental fashion is called | determinism |
| The objective observation of the phenomena of interest, where objective observations are independent of the individual prejudices, tastes, and private opinions of the scientist, is called | empiricism |
| A carefully controlled comparison of some measure of the phenomenon of interest (the dependent variable) under two or more different conditions in which only one factor at a time differs from one condition to another is called an | experiment |
| and an emphasis on describing functional relations between behavior and controlling variables in the environment over formal theory testing, is called the | experimental analysis of behavior |
| A fictitious or hypothetical variable that often takes the form of another name for the observed phenomenon it claims to explain | explanatory fiction |
| A verbal statement summarizing the results of an experiment | functional relation |
| Conclusions derived from scientific manipulation are tentative. They may be modified, or discarded, when new facts or discoveries come to light. | Philosophic Doubt |
| approach to the examination of behavior, extended to verbal behavior and private events, advancing that all behavior is a function of the interactions of ontogenic and phylogenic variables | Behaviorism |
| A method, for which behaviorism provides the theoretical underpinnings, for studying behavior and the environmental variables of which it is a function. | Experimental Analysis of Behavior |
| studying behavior with significance to the participants involved. Moreover, the investigation does not always involve continuous observation, behaviors that can be quickly repeated, or well controlled environments. | Applied Behavior Analysis |
| ABA focuses on the implementation of basic principles (Content Area 3) to behaviors of significance to the participants involved | Applied |
| ABA focuses on behavior in its own right as a target for change. | Behavioral |
| ABA seeks to identify functional relationships between behavior and environmental events through scientific study. | Analytic |
| In ABA, procedures are completely and precisely defined. | Technological |
| In ABA, procedures are linked to, and described in terms of, the basic principles of behavior | Conceptually Systematic |
| Behavior analysts attempt to discover procedures that can be applied effectively to many individuals and in many settings. | Generality |
| the interaction of the muscles and glands of an organism and the environment | Behavior |
| an instance of behavior. | Response |
| _____ response class:a collection of responses that share a common form. | topographical |
| _____ response class:a collection of responses that share common functional relationships with classes of antecedent and consequent stimuli | Functional |
| The properties of behavior are _____, occurrence in _____ and the combination of these. | Repeaatability Time |
| An approach to explaining behavior that assumes that a mental, or “inner,” dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension, and that phenomena in this dimension either directly cause or at least mediate some forms of behavior, _______. | mentalism |
| The level of investigation that involves the collection of facts about observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible relations with other known facts, and often suggests hypotheses or questions for additional research is: | Description |
| The level of investigation that demonstrates correlation between events and is based on repeated observations is: | prediction |
| The level of investigation in which functional relations can be derived is | control |
| The overall goal of _______ is to achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomenon under study. | Science |
| Specific change in the dependent variable can reliably be produced by specific manipulations in the independent variable, and the change in the dependent variable was unlikely to be the result of confounding variables | Functional Relation |
| This is the assumption upon which science is predicated, the idea that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other events. | Determinism |
| This is the idea that simple, logical explanations must be ruled out, experimentally or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered. | parisomy |
| This is the branch of behavior analysis that focuses on basic research | Experimental |
| The S-R-S model of psychology is also known as: | Three-Term Contingency |
| This person is considered to be the founder of experimental analysis of behavior | B F Skinner |
| This is the approach to understanding behavior that assumes that a mental or "inner" dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension and that phenomena in this dimension either directly cause or at least mediate some forms of behavior. | Mentalism |
| The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis began publication and "Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis," by Baer, Wolf, and Risley, was published | These events marked the formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis |
| This is the defining characteristic of behavior analysis that focuses on investigating socially significant behaviors with immediate importance to the participant(s). | Applied |
| This is the defining characteristic of applied behavior analysis that demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and non-occurrence of the behavior. | Analytic |
| Events that are thought to affect the phenomena of interest are carefully manipulated to elucidate their effects. | Scienific Manipulations |
| changes in behavior are significant to the participants involved, cost effective, and efficient. Behavior analysts attempt to use procedures that promote generalization and maintenance of behavior change. | Effective |
| Behavior analysts attempt to discover procedures that can be applied effectively to many individuals and in many settings | Generality |
