Question 7

• practice (improves lives)
• basic research (experiments to test the theory)
• applied research (improve socially significant behaviours)

Question 8

• Experimentation tracks behaviour change
• Social validity: some may say they like your intervention but don’t actually use it

Question 9

Answer 9

-Behaviour is studied/described and the variables and contingencies that impact it are identified

Question 10

discrete trail training

Answer 10

Used to teach new skills using reinforcers and contingencies

Question 11

sensory extinction

Answer 11

o Techniques designed to reduce the stimulation directly produced by a response.

Question 12

Answer 12
