GUARANTEED PASS ANSWERS GRADED A+
● What is correlation? Answer: A relationship between two variables
that can be used to predict the relative probability that one event will
occur, based on the presence of the other event
● What are the three levels of scientific understanding? Answer:
Description, prediction, control
● Dr. Pennypacker made an important distinction that we do not control
behavior, what we do control is the ..... Answer: Environment
● True or False: Behavior analysts believe that behavior is intrinsic to
the organism Answer: False - we believe behavior is extrinsic to the
organism
● What is prediction in behavior analysis? Answer: The anticipated
outcome of presently known or future measurement. It is the most
elegant use of quantification upon which validation of all scientific and
technological activity rests - Pennypacker
● What is experimental control? Answer: A predictable change in
behavior can be reliably produced by the systematic manipulation of
some aspect of the persons environment
, ● What two things make up experimental control? Answer: Internal
validity + external validity
● What variable is dependent in behavior analysis? Answer: Behavior
● What variable is independent in behavior analysis? Answer: The
environmental manipulations
● What variables do we have to control in order to establish
experimental control? Answer: Two - independent variables and
extraneous variables
● What type of experimental design involves manipulating the value of
the independent variable? Answer: Parametric
● What type of experimental design involves manipulating the
presentation or removal of the independent variable? Answer:
Nonparametric
● What is verification in behavior analysis? Answer: Verification of the
previously predicted level of baseline by termination or withdrawal of
the independent/treatment variable
