Although most of you are preparing for the BACB certification exam, please know that the
material is based on the work of ________ and his science and philosophy of human behavior.
There are occasions where we may spend time on items that are no longer specifically required
for the exam, but we feel are required to be an excellent behavior scientist. - (answers)B.F.
Skinner
The ________ is the only standardized form of data measurement in our science. In this course,
you will be charting your own behavior - specifically your daily study of ABA terminology. -
(answers)Standard Celeration Chart (SCC)
The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) is the single governing body for professionals
in the field of _______. The BACB was established in 1998 to provide certification to
professionals in an effort to establish minimum criteria to be a reactionary in the field. -
(answers)Applied Behavior Analysis
The standard celeration chart is the only standardized form of data ______ in our science. -
(answers)measurement
The word _______ refers to a systematic approach for seeking and organizing knowledge about
the natural world. - (answers)systematic approach
Scientific investigations can yield information regarding the three levels of understanding, which
are _____ ,_______ , and _______. - (answers)description, prediction, control.
What is the purpose for this systematic approach? - (answers)-To achieve a thorough
understanding of the phenomena under study.
-To seek to discover the real truths.
,--so no bias by groups or organizations
--or by the scientists themselves.
_______ studies produce a collection of facts about the observed events that can be quantified,
classified, and examined for possible relations with other known facts.
(Can also suggest hypothesis, questions, or additional research ideas.) - (answers)Description
The highest level of scientific understanding is ________ . In this regard, we specifically
manipulate one event (the independent variable) in order to produce a reliable change in another
event (the dependent variable), and the change in the dependent variable is not likely due to other
extraneous factors (known as confounding variables). This relationship is referred to as a
_______. - (answers)Control; functional relationship
The _________ is the event in which we observe change. - (answers)dependent variable
What is a functional relationship? - (answers)It exists when a well-controlled experiment
demonstrates that a specific change in one event (the dependent variable) is reliably produced by
specific manipulations of another event (the independent variable), and that the change in the
dependent variable was unlikely to be the result of other extraneous factors (confounding
variables).
The _______ is the event in which we manipulate. - (answers)independent variable
The "behavior" we wish to change in behavior analysis is known as the _________. (2) -
(answers)dependent variable (2)
The "intervention" we employ in behavior analysis is known as the ________. (2) -
(answers)independent variable (2)
, When we apply an intervention, we are manipulating the _______ . The change we see in the
target behavior is known as the ________. - (answers)independent variable; dependent variable
A _______ is demonstrated when we ________ the independent variable and see a ____ in the
dependent variable and that change is not likely due to______. - (answers)functional
relationship; manipulate; change; extraneous variables
______ is the assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena
occur as a result of other events. _______ is the objective observation of the phenomena of
interest. _______ is the repeating of experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of
the findings. - (answers)Determinism; Empiricism; Replication
What is Determinism? - (answers)-The idea that scientists follow that the universe is a lawful
and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other events.
-Events do not occur at will.
-Events are related in systematic ways.
What is Accidentalism? - (answers)The idea that events occur by accident or without cause.
What is Fatalism? - (answers)the belief that all events are predetermined and therefore
inevitable. The scientific discovery of functional relations and use of these discoveries to
improve things would be impossible.
Can Accidentalism and Fatalism occur concurrently with Determinism? - (answers)NO. They
are actually antithetical (opposite) to determinism.
What is Empiricism? - (answers)The practice of object observation of the phenomena or
interest. The basis on which all scientific knowledge is built from.
