EDF 6225 Guided Notes

EDF 6225 Guided Notes _________ratio schedule requires a specified number of responses before a response produces reinforcement - answerFixed The word_______refers to a systematic approach for seeking and organizing knowledge about the world - answerScience Scientific investigations can yield information regarding the three levels of understanding which are_______________ - answerDescription, prediction, and control _______studies produce a collection of facts about the observed events that can be qualified, classified, and examined for possible relations to other known facts - answerScientific When a systematic covariation occurs between two events, we are able to predict the probability that one event will occur in conjunction with the other event. This is called_______ - answerCorrelation The highest level of scientific understanding is______ - answerControl We specifically manipulate one event in order to produce a reliable change in another event and the change in the dependent variable is not likely due to extraneous factors or confounding variables. This relationship is called a_______________ - answerFunctional relation The________is the event in which we observe change - answerDependent variable The_______is the event in which we manipulate - answerIndependent variable The "behavior" we wish to change is known as the_________ - answerDependent variable The "intervention" we employ is known as the_________ - answerIndependent variable When we apply an intervention we are manipulating the______ - answerIndependent variable The change we see in the target behavior is known as the_______ - answerDependent variable A________is demonstrated when we manipulate the independent variable and see a change in the dependent variable that is not likely due to confounding variables - answerFunctional relation __________is the assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena occur as a result of other events - answerDeterminism _______is the objective observation of the phenomena of interest - answerEmpiricism _________is the repeating of experiments to determine reliability and usefulness of findings - answerReplication The______is the natural science approach for discovering orderly and reliable relations between behavior and various types of environmental variables of which is the function - answerEAB ___________is the philosophy of the science of behavior - answerBehaviorism __________attempts to explain all behavior including private events - answerRadical behaviorism _________is the philosophical position that considers behavioral events that cannot be publicly observed outside the realm of science - answerMethodological behaviorism In the early 1900s the struggling field of psychology was based on introspection and states of___________ - answerConsciousness The______dimension of ABA was summarized by Baer applied research is constrained to examining behaviors which are socially significant - answerApplied ________is the dimension in which we are certain that we not only changed the behavior but we know whose behavior changed - answerBehavioral ________defines how we arrive to our decision as to whether or not behavior change occurs as we predicted - answerAnalytic ________means that we fully disclose all of the procedures we followed in order to measure behavior before and during intervention as well as how the intervention was applied - answerTechnological _______procedures mean that we rely on behavioral procedures derived from research - answerConceptually systematic ________is the golden standard for our procedures. Can be done in other settings and maintained - answerGenerality When a stimulus is added and future frequencies of behavior increase it is known as_________ - answerPositive reinforcement __________is when a stimulus is added and future occupancies
