| Qs & As| Grade A| 100% Correct (Verified Answer)
Conceptual - ANSWERThe branch of Applied Behavior Analysis which requires that
interventions used must be based on the principles of behavior and have empirical
evidence supporting efficacy
Principles of Behavior - ANSWERreinforcement and punishment
Methodological Behaviorism - ANSWERRefers to a philosophical position in which
behavioral events that cannot be observed are not behaviors.
Applied Behavior Analysis - ANSWERThis is the science in which the principles of
behavior are used to improve socially important behaviors and experimental analysis
is used to determine which variables are responsible for improvement.
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) - ANSWERFounded by Skinner, this natural
science focuses on studying operant behavior as a subject matter, using single
subject experimental designs rather than group designs, to measure behavior as a
dependent variable.
Analytic - ANSWERRequires that experimenters have used single subject research
designs to demonstrate a functional relation, or a believable demonstration of the
efficacy of an intervention.
Applied - ANSWERRequires that scientists and practitioners select behaviors for
change that are socially significant.
Effective - ANSWERRequires that improvement of behavior be socially significant and
based on a visual analysis of data.
Generativity - ANSWERRequires that behaviors last over time and appear in other
environments other than that of training.
Technical - ANSWERRequires the thorough and accurate description of procedures
used in interventions.
Radical Behaviorism - ANSWERRepresents Skinner's "far-reaching" and
"thoroughgoing" form of behaviorism that includes both public and private
