Section 1 ABA

Question 1

Applied Behavior Analysis

Answer 1

Scientific Approach for discovering environmental variables that reliably influence socially significant behaviors for developing a technology of behavior change that is practical and applicable. This is evidence based applied science

Question 2

Science

Answer 2

Systematic approach for seeking and organizing knowledge about the natural work. Based on determinism

Question 3

3 levels of scientific understanding

Answer 3

Description
Prediction
Control

Question 4

Description

Answer 4

Systematic observations that are quantified and classified

Question 5

Prediction

Answer 5

AKA Correlation;Covariation. Two events may reguarly occur at the same time. This does not necessairly mean 1 causes the other

Question 6

Control

Answer 6

AKA Causation. Functional Relation. This is the highest scientific understanding. Experimental demonstration that manipulating 1 event (IV) results in another (DV)

Question 7

6 Attitudes of Science

Answer 7

Determinism
Empericism
Experimentation
Replication 
Parsimony 
Philosophical Doubt

Question 8

Determinism

Answer 8

Cause/Effect
Law-fullness
Predictable

Question 9

Empiricism

Answer 9

Facts
Experimental Data Based (Scientific Approach)
Observations/Experiences
Quantification and detailed description of events

Question 10

Experimentation

Answer 10

AKA-Experimental Analysis. Manipulating variables so as to see the effects of the DV

Question 11

Replication

Answer 11

Repeating Experiments
Determine the reliability and usefulness of findings
Discovering Mistakes
Self Correcting

Question 12

Parsimony

Answer 12

Simplest Theory

All simple and logical explanations must be ruled out before considering complex explanations

Question 13

Philosophical Doubt

Answer 13

Healthy Skepticism

Critical Eye about results

Question 14

7 dimensions of aba

Answer 14

Behavioral
Applied
Analytic 
Technological
Conceptual Analysis
Generality
Effective

Question 15

Behavioral

Answer 15

Observable Events

The behavior 1 chooses must be in the need of the improvement

Question 16

Applied

Answer 16

Socially Significant
Improves everyday life
Helps significant others

Question 17

Technological

Answer 17

Defining procedures like a recipe and they are replicable

Question 18

Conceptually Systematic

Answer 18

All procedures used should be tied to ABA principals.

Question 19

Analytical

Answer 19

Functional Relation
Experimentation
Control
Believability 
Causation
Demonstrated a functional relation between the manipulated events and a reliable change in some measurable dimension of a target behavior.

Question 20

Generality

Answer 20

AKA-Generalization extends over settings behaviors and individuals

Question 21

Effective

Answer 21

Is the intervention working?
Clinically Significant?
Improves behavior in a practical manner not simply making a change that is statically significant

Question 22

Mentalism

Answer 22

Approach to explaining behavior that assumes an inner dimension exists and causes behaviors

Question 23

3 mentalisms umbrella

Answer 23

1) Hypothetical Constructs
2) Circular Reasoning
3) Explanatory Fiction

Question 24

Hypothetical Constructs

Answer 24

Presumed, unobserved

Free will, readiness, unobservable storage

Question 25

Explanatory Fiction

Answer 25

``` Wants Knows Figures out Another name for the observed behavior Contribute nothing to an understanding of the variables responsible for maintaining behaviors ```

Question 26

Circular Reasoning

Answer 26

Cause and effect are both inferred from the same information

Question 27

Behaviorism

Answer 27

Philosophy of science

Question 28

4 branches of ABA

Answer 28

Conceptual analysis ABA Experimental Analysis of Behavior Behavior Service Delivery

Question 29

Conceptual Analysis

Answer 29

``` AKA behaviorism Philosophical Theoretical Historical Methodological Issues ```

Question 30

ABA

Answer 30

Analysts that monitor, analyze, revise and communicate the effects of their work

Question 31

Behavior Service Delivery

Answer 31

Refers to many people in various fields outside ABA

Question 32

Experimental Analysis of Behavior

Answer 32

Research | Laboratories

Question 33

Ivan Pavlov

Answer 33

Respondent conditioning with dogs | 1906 published first studies

Question 34

John Watson

Answer 34

Methodological Behaviorism- Publicly observed events. | AKA- Stimulus Response Behaviorism, SR Psychology, Watsonian Behaviorism.

Question 35

Skinner

Answer 35

Radical Behaviorism-Private events

Question 36

How did skinner come up with radical behaviorism

Answer 36

1)Darwinism Selection (Selection by consequences) and 2) Pragmatism (AB because of C) proposition lies in it's observable practical consequences

Question 37

Respondent Behavior

Answer 37

``` Elicit Involuntary Phylogeny Reflex Habituation Unconditioned Stimulus Unconditioned Response ```

Question 38

Phyologeny

Answer 38

Behavior inherited genetically

Question 39

Respondent Conditioning

Answer 39

AKA-Classical Conditioning

Question 40

Operant Behavior

Answer 40

``` Emit/Evoke History of Consequences Voluntary Action Adaptation SRS ```

Question 41

Ontogeny

Answer 41

Interactions with his/her environment

Question 42

Operant Conditioning

Answer 42

AKA- Behavioral Contingency, 3-Term Contingency. The occasion for a response, the response and t outcome of the response.

Question 43

Contiguity

Answer 43

AKA-Temporal Contiguity Applies to Respondent Conditioning Close together in time affects pairing in CS and US Applies to Operant Conditioning- Temporal congruity affects pairing of the behavior and consequence

Question 44

Respondent-Operant Interactions

Answer 44

An experience can often include both respondent and operant conditioning occurring together simultaneously
