Question 1

Experimental _________is achieved when a predictable change in behavior the dependent variable is reliably produced by the systematic manipulation of some aspect of the environment, the independent variable.

Answer 1

Control

Question 2

________analysis also also requires the target behavior to be a function of environmental event that can be particularly and ethically manipulated.

Answer 2

Applied

Question 3

An experiment that shows convincingly that a change in the dependent variable are a function of the independent variable, and not the result of uncontrolled or unknown variables is said to have a high degree of ________

Answer 3

Internal validity

Question 4

_______validity refers to the degree to which a studies results are generalized stable to other subjects settings, and or behaviors

Answer 4

External

Question 5

________variables, known or suspected to exert an influence on the dependent variable are called confounding variables.

Answer 5

Uncontrolled

Question

Answer 10

Comparative

Question 11

_______and applied behavior analysis are most often referred to a single subject or single case designs

Answer 11

Experiments

Question 12

_______control is achieved when the systematic manipulation of some aspect of the subjects environment the independent variable Reli produces a predictable change in behavior dependent.?

Answer 12

Experimental

Question 13

Second, the investigator must control by holding constant all of their aspects of the experimental, setting variables to prevent unplanned environmental ______

Answer 13

Variations

Question 14

The particular aspect of the environment that the experiment or manipulates to find out whether it affects, the subjects behavior is called the _________.

Answer 14

Independent variable

Question 15

Experimental _______refers to the particular arrangement of conditions in a study so that meaningful comparisons of the effects of the presence, absence or different values of the independent variable can be made.

Answer 15

Design

Question 16

A non-parametric study is when the independent variable is either one of these conditions during an experiment whether it’s present or ______ during each time period or phase of a study.

Answer 16

Absent

Question 17

In contrast, a _______analysis seeks to discover the different effects of a range of values of the independent variable.

Answer 17

Parametric

Question 18

Even in studies with multiple independent variables, the researcher must heed a simple but fundamental rule of experimentation change only one variable at a _____

Answer 18

Time

Question 19

________ responding a pattern of responding that exhibits its relatively little variation and its major dimensional quantities over a period of time.

Answer 19

Steady state

Question 20

Baseline ______entails three elements prediction verification each of which depends on an overall experimental approach called city state strategy.

Answer 20

Logic

Question 21

Steady state _______entails, exposing a subject to a given condition while trying to eliminate or control any extraneous their influences on the behavior and obtaining a stable pattern of responding before introducing the next condition

Answer 21

Strategy

Question 22

________can be defined as a anticipated outcome of a presently unknown or future measurement. It is the most elegant use of quantification upon which validation of all scientific and technological activities rest.

Answer 22

Prediction

Question 23

Practice ______referred to improvements and performance, resulting from repeated opportunities to admit to behavior so the baseline measurements can be obtained

Answer 23

Effects

Question 24

The predictive power of steady state responding enables the behavior analyst to employ a form of inductive logic known as _________consequence. The reason behind affirmation of the consequence, begins with a true antecedent consequence statement and proceeds as follows with a is true then B is true be is found to be true therefore is true.

Answer 24

Affirmation

Question 25

__________can be accomplished by demonstrating that the prior level of baseline responding would have remained unchanged as the independent variable not been introduced.

Answer 25

Verification

Question 26

_________means repeating, independent variable manipulations conducting previously in the study and obtaining similar outcomes.

Answer 26

Replication
