Q

BURRHUS FREDERIC SKINNER

A

Radical behaviorism

private events included

25
Q

DARWINIAN SELECTIONISM & PRAGMATISM

A

selection by consequence

natural selection

26
Q

RESPONDENT BEHAVIOR

A

elicited/brought out by stimuli that immediately preceded them

example- gag reflex when choke

27
Q

REFLEX

A

something you are born with- like knee popping when knee is hit with mallet
its unlearned
born in you

28
Q

HABITUATION

A

where you have something repeatedly done that makes you less responsive to it… like loud noises that startle you

29
Q

PHYLOGENY/phylogenic

A

genetic behavior

30
Q

OPERANT BEHAVIOR

A
S-R-S 
emit/evoke
history of consequences
voluntary action
learned behavior
31
Q

ADAPTATION

A

reduction in responding after repeatedly being exposed- like hearing same joke over and over… or ripped my pants

32
Q

ONTOGENY/ontogenic

A

learning from our environment

operant behavior is ontogenic

33
Q

CONTIGUITY

A

when two stimuli occur close together in time resulting in an association
like superstitious behavior

34
Q

RESPONDENT-OPERANT INTERACTIONS

A

an experience can often include both respondent and operant conditioning occurring at the same time

example- microwaving food example

35
Q

WHAT IS NOT BEHAVIOR

A
the dead mans test
being hungry
being anxious
getting wet
receiving money
being blown over
if a dead man can do it its not behavior
think weekend at bernies

38
Q

PREDICTION

A

correlation, covariation

two events may happen at same time but doesn’t mean they cause each other

39
Q

CONTROL

A

causation- manipulation of one event results in another event

40
Q

HYPOTHETICAL CONSTRUCTS,

A

AKA imaginary constructs
presumed unobserved entities
free will
information on processing etc..

41
Q

EXPLANATORY FICTIONS,

A

“knows”
wants
figures out
fictitious variables

42
Q

CIRCULAR

REASONING

A

he cried because he felt sad

cause and effect that are both inferred from the same information

43
Q

Conceptual analysis of behavior

A

behaviorism

examines philosophical, theoretical, historical, and methodological issues

Q

Behavior service delivery

A
people who implement the plan
BCBA's
RBTS
BCaBAs
BCBAD
45
Q

EAB

A

clinical research process, in a lab

46
Q

RESPONDENT CONDITIONING

A

example- pavlov with the bell and meat powder to make dog salivate

classical conditioning

47
Q

OPERANT CONTINGENCY

A

occasion for a response, the response, and the outcome of the response
when a reinforcer or punisher is said to be contingent on a behavior, the behavior must be emitted for the consequence to occur
