A

Everything that occurs outside the body

17
Q

Two Assumptions of behavior analysis

A
  1. Behavior is determined
  2. The scientific method is a valid way to reveal the determinants of behavior
18
Q

Steps of scientific method

A
  1. Objective: unbiased
  2. Quantitative: can be counted
  3. Systematic: implemented exactly as it is suppose to be
  4. Empirical: must be observable
  5. Falsifiable predictions: the theories can be proven wrong
  6. Experimentation
  7. Peer review
  8. Replication: can be replicated
19
Q

What are the two determinants of behavior..

A

Nature and nurture

20
Q

Nurture is..

A

All events during an individual living, experiences

21
Q

Nature is…

A

Biological, genes

22

23
Q

Experimental analysis of behavior (EAB) practicers

A
