, B.F. Skinner
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.
Standard Celeration Chart (SCC)
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.
Applied Behavior Analysis
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.
measurement
The standard celeration chart is
the only standardized form of
data ______ in our science.
systematic approach
The word _______ refers to a
systematic approach for seeking
and organizing knowledge about
the natural world.
Scientific investigations can yield description, prediction, control.
information regarding the three
levels of understanding, which
are _____ ,_______ , and
_______.
, -To achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under
study.
-To seek to discover the real truths.
What is the purpose for this --so no bias by groups or organizations
systematic approach? --or by the scientists themselves.
Description
_______ 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.)
Control; functional relationship
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 _______.
dependent variable
The _________ is the event in
which we observe change.
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
What is a functional relationship? variable was unlikely to be the result of other extraneous factors
(confounding variables).
independent variable
The _______ is the event in
which we manipulate.
dependent variable (2)
The "behavior" we wish to
change in behavior analysis is
known as the _________. (2)
independent variable (2)
The "intervention" we employ in
behavior analysis is known as the
________. (2)
