3 levels of scientific understanding Answer- DPC
Description
Prediction
Control
Description Answer- Systematic observations that can be quantified & classified
Prediction Answer- AKA: correlation; covariation
2 events may regularly occur at the same time. This does not mean one causes the other
Control Answer- AKA: causation
Functional relation.
The highest level of scientific understanding.
Experimental demonstration that manipulating one event (IV) results in another event (DV).
6 attitudes of science
,Philosophical assumptions of bx Answer- DEER PP
Determinism
Empiricism
Experimentation
Replication
Parimony
Philosophical Doubt
Determinism Answer- Cause & effect
Lawfulness
Orderly & predictable
Empiricism Answer- Facts
Experimental, data-based scientific approach, drawing upon observation & experience.
Requires objective qualification & detailed description of events.
Experimentation Answer- Basic strategy of most sciences.
Requires manipulating variables to see effects on DV.
Experiment to determine if one event caused another.
Replication Answer- Repeating experiments
,Parisomy Answer- The simplest theory.
All simple & logical explanations must be ruled out first before complex explanations.
Philosophical Doubt Answer- Having healthy skepticism & a critical eye

Behavioral Answer- Observable events.
Must be a bx in need of improvement.
Applied Answer- Socially significant bxs
Technological Answer- Procedures clearly & precisely so they are replicable.
RECIPE
Conceptually Systematic Answer- Procedures should be based on principles of ABA
Analytic Answer- AKA: Functional Relation, Experimentation, Control, Causation
, A functional relation is demonstrated.
