Question 1

purpose of science

Answer 1

to achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under study

Question 2

ABA

Answer 2

a scientific approach for discovering environmental variables that reliably influence socially significant behavior and for developing technology of behavior change that is practical and applicable

Question 3

3 level of scientific understanding

Answer 3

description (systematic observations)
prediction (correlation/covariation)
control (causation/functional relation)

Question 4

6 attitude of science / philosophical assumption of behavior

Answer 4

DEER PP
Determinism (lawfulness/orderly/predictable; if/then; cause & effect)
Empiricism (facts/data-based scientific; observation & experience; objective quantification & detailed description of events)
Experimentation (experimental analysis/causation)
Replication (reliability & usefulness)
Parsimony (simplest/fit to existing knowledge)
Philosophical doubt

selectionism: how the environment changes an individual over his lifetime

Answer 14

respondent behavior - phylogenic

operant behavior - ontogenic

Question 15

respondent behavior

Answer 15

phylogenic
elicit 
involuntary 
reflex 
habituation 
respondent/classical conditioning

Question 16

operant behavior

Answer 16

ontogenic
emit/evoke
voluntary 
history of consequence (P/R)
define by function 
adaptation 
operant contingency/3-term contingency 
contiguity

Question 17

operant contingency

Answer 17

3-term contingency
behavior contingency
primary unit of ABA

Question 18

contiguity

Answer 18

CS & US paired
behavior & consequence paired
superstitious behaviour

Question 19

deadman test

Answer 19

what a dead man can do is not behaviour

e.g. feeling, receiving XXX
