the level of investigation that involves the collection of facts about observed events
that can be quantified,classified and examined for possible relations with other
known facts. Often suggests hypothesis or question for additional research -
CORRECT ANSWER Description
The level of investigation in which functional relations can be derived is -
CORRECT ANSWER control
The overall goal of _________ is the achieve a thorough understanding of the
phenomenon under study - CORRECT ANSWER science
This is the assumption upon which science is predicated, the idea that the universe
is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other
events. - CORRECT ANSWER Determinism
This is the idea that simple, logical explanations must be rules out, experimentally
or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered -
CORRECT ANSWER Parsimony
This is the branch of behavior analysis that focuses on basic research: - CORRECT
ANSWER Experimental analysis of behavior
The S-R-S model of psychology is also known as: - CORRECT ANSWER Three-
term contingency
The person is considered to be the founder of experimental analysis of behavior -
CORRECT ANSWER B.F. Skinner
,This is the approach to understanding behavior that assumes that a mental or
"inner" dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension and that
phenomena in this dimension either directly cause or at least mediate some forms
of behavior. - CORRECT ANSWER Mentalism
These events marked the formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior
analysis. - CORRECT ANSWER The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis began
publication and "Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis" by
Baer, Wolf, and Risley was published
This is the defining characteristic of behavior analysis hat focuses on investigating
socially significant behaviors with immediate importance to the participants -
CORRECT ANSWER Applied
This is the defining characteristic of applied behavior analysis that demonstrates
experimental control over the occurrence and non-occurrence of the behavior. -
CORRECT ANSWER Analytic
Name of attitude of science - CORRECT ANSWER (DEERPP - determinism,
empiricism, experimentation, replication, parsimony, philosophic doubt)
What is the philosophy of science of behavior? - CORRECT ANSWER determinism
True or False: Radical behaviorism (Skinner) includes and seeks to understand all
human behavior - CORRECT ANSWER True
List one of the seven defining dimensions of ABA as described by Baer, Wolf, and
Risley (1968) - CORRECT ANSWER (GETACAB- generality, effective,
technological, applied, conceptual, analytic, behavioral)
, Which of the following is NOT an example of operant behavior? - CORRECT
ANSWER A dog blinking its eyes after a flash of light is presented
The controlling variables or primary importance in applied behavior analysis are
located in : - CORRECT ANSWER The environment
Two functionally distinct types of behavior important to behavior analysis include:
- CORRECT ANSWER respondent and operant behavior
Which of the following is considered a property of behavior amenable to
measurement? - CORRECT ANSWER Temporal Locus
A _________ denotes a set or collection of knowledge and skills a person has
learned that are relevant to particular settings or tasks - CORRECT ANSWER
Repertoire
Behavior is affected by stimulus changes that occur prior to and immediately after
the behavior. The term _____ refers to environmental conditions or stimulus
changes that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest. - CORRECT ANSWER
Antecedent
A behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli and is "brought about" by a
stimulus that precedes it is: - CORRECT ANSWER Respondent
A response is followed by a stimulus change, the effect of which is an increase in
the future frequency of behavior. Which type of stimulus-change operation most
likely occured? - CORRECT ANSWER Reinforcement
