Answer 0

Presumption that the universe is a lawful place where all phenomena occur as a result of other events

Question 1

Functional relation

Answer 1

Question 2

Empiricism

Answer 2

Practice of objective observation

Question 3

Parsimony

Answer 3

All simple, logical explanations for the phenomenon under investigation be ruled out before a more complex one is considered

Applied

Answer 7

Select behaviors for improvement that are socially significant

Behavioral

Answer 8

Behavior must be measurable
Ask whose behavior has changed when behavior change has occurred

Question 9

Analytic

Answer 9

Experimenter demonstrates a functional relation between manipulated events and a reliable change on some dimension of behavior

Question 10

Technological

Answer 10

All operative procedures are identified and described with sufficient detail and clarity

Question 11

Conceptually systematic

Answer 11

Procedures used for changing behavior and any interest actions of how or why procedures were effective should be described in terms of the relevant principles from which they were derived

Question 12

Effective

Answer 12

Behavior techniques under investigation must improve the behavior to a practical degree

Question 13

Generality

Answer 13

Behavior change lasts over time, appears in other environments, and/or spreads to behaviors not directly treated by the intervention
