psychophysical parallelism - ANSWER--While some
methodological behaviorists accept that there are mental states,
they have ruled them completely out of consideration. This is not
a new concept and was once referred to as .
methodological - ANSWER--behaviorism might be thought of as a
psychological version of logical positivism or operationism.
introspection - ANSWER--Structuralism relied on , which looked
inward to describe sensations, images, and feelings
philosophy - ANSWER--"Behaviorism is not the science of human
behavior; it is the of that science" (Skinner, 1974. p.3).
parsimony - ANSWER--With , we look for the simplest explanation
possible, not extensive mentalistic explanations.
bias, evidence, replication - ANSWER--In order to be excellent
stewards of science, as behavior analysts, we can follow a few
guidelines when gathering and evaluating evidence. This includes
reducing ___ by ensuring interobserver agreement, examining for
actual ___(as opposed to effects that could have produced
changes without the intervention), ___ , and self-correction.
evidence - ANSWER--Being scientifically skeptical means that
until there is available, assumptions should not be made.

science, lawful relations - ANSWER--"___ is more than the mere
description of events as they occur. It is an attempt to discover
order, to show that certain events stand in ___ to other events
(Skinner, 1953, p.6)."
mentalistic, explanatory - ANSWER--In Pavlov's early research,
he did not jump to conclusions to suggest that the dog was
"thinking" of food, and therefore salivating. Instead, he carefully
controlled conditions that allowed him to show that particular
stimuli can "acquire" the ability to elicit secretion. His careful
analysis of the scientific method allowed him to avoid both ___
and ___ fictions
debilitating - ANSWER--The evolutionary explanation for reflexes
indicates that they are for the survival of the organism. However,
we know all too well that sometimes responses can be
conditioned that serve no purpose - even add a __ purpose - to
our complex lives.
conditioning, stimulus control, novel - ANSWER--Skinner (1953)
informed us "Although the process of __ greatly extends the
scope of the eliciting stimulus, it does not bring all the behavior of
the organism within such __ "(p. 56). Conditioning can add
numerous different eliciting stimuli, but it will never fashion a __
response.
prediction, control, accessible - ANSWER--According to Skinner,
contingencies of reinforcement have an edge over contingencies
of survival because contingencies of reinforcement "Have the

edge with __ and __ and the conditions under which a species
acquires behavior are relatively __ and can often be
manipulated".
ontogeny - ANSWER--is the learned behaviors of a particular
animal during its lifetime.
phylogeny - ANSWER--is behaviors that have been passed down
over the lifetime of the entire species.
chain, learned - ANSWER--It can be difficult to distinguish
between ontogenetic and phylogenic established behaviors. For a
person viewing a complex __ for the first time, it may seem
mysterious. But each step of the chain can be traced back to the
shaping process. Just because the shaping process was not
observed, it does not mean that it was not __ . However, when we
view a spider spin a web "no comparable history can be invoked"
to determine the phylogenic contingencies at work (Skinner, 1966,
p.1208).
genes, environment, cause - ANSWER--Moore (2015) stated " __
predispose an individual's susceptibility to influence from the __
(p. 27). We must be careful not to assert that genes "__ "
behavior; rather, they set up the physical basis for the processes
and structures that participate in behavior. Behavior still occurs in
the context of the environment.
model - ANSWER--Imitative responses necessarily require the
learner to orient toward the __ rather than the topographical
correspondence of their behavior with respect to the model.
