Q

Explain Edward Thorndike’s Law of Effect

A

Examines the relationship between behaviour and its consequences

likely based on the effect it has i.e., produces desirable or
undesirable consequences

17
Q

Parsimoney

A

identifying the simplest and most accurate explanation for brain processes and human behaviours

18
Q

What is science

A

A systematic approach to understanding natural phenomena

19
Q

ABA as a science, definition

A

Science of behaviour change

20
Q

What are the DV’s in ABA

A

the behaviours being changed

21
Q

What are the IV’s in ABA

A

External factors functionally related to these behaviours

22
Q

Define pragmatism

A

the utility of a concept

23
Q

What is the focus of behavioural psychology

A

Meaningful change in measurable behaviours of social importance

24
Q

what are the fur domains of behaviour analysis

A
  1. Radical Behaviourism
  2. Applied Behaviour Analysis
  3. Practice Guided by Behaviour Analysis
  4. Experimental Analysis of Behaviour
25
Q

What is the goal of Radical Behaviourism

A

theoretical account of all behaviour consistent with existing data

26
Q

Who developed the experimental analysis of behaviour

A

BF Skinner

27
Q

Goal of experimental analysis of behaviour

A

discover, extend, and clarify the fundamental principles of behaviour

28
Q

Goals of applied behaviour analysis

A

identifying the relationship between socially significant behaviour and the environment in order to develop strategies for meaningful behaviour change

29
Q

Goal of practice guided behaviour change

A

improve people’s lives as a result of behaviour change

30
Q

examples of practice guided by behaviour analysis

A

Behaviour support plans
group based learning programs
Training for other individual

31
Q

what are the two main learning processes

A

Classical conditioning
operant conditioning

32
Q

explain classical conditioning

A

previously neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus and after continuous pairing together the neutral stimulus on its own can elicit the same response

33
Q

purpose of reflexive behaviours

A

Protection and Regulation

34
Q
A
35
Q

describe respondent extinction

A

conditioned reflex weakens if the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented in the absence of the unconditioned stimulus

36
Q

what is operant behaviour

A

behaviour whose future frequency is determined primarily by its history of consequences

37
Q

describe the ABC contingency in relation to operant behaviour

A

Antecedent> behaviour> consequence

38
Q

3 contingencies of a behaviour

A

reinforcement, punishment and extinction

39
Q

describe negative reinforcement

A

something is taken away from the environment contingent on a behaviour which increases the likelihood of it being repeated

40
Q

what is 2 term contingencies

A

behaviour> consequence

41
Q

3 term contingencies

A

Antecedent> Behaviour> Consequence

42
Q

What is the antecedent

A

motivating factors to engage in behaviour
