what is empirical
knowledge acquired through observation or experimentation
what is objective?
free of personal bias or beliefs
what is frequency?
how many
what is rate?
frequency/time
what is duration?
how long response occurs for
what is intensity?
how much/forceful
latency
how long until a response occurs
topography
form of the behavior
what is applied?
behavior selected in some manner
what is behavioral?
select a specific target behavior to be increase
what is analytic?
a functional relationship between a stimulus and dependent variable have been demonstrated
what is technological?
procedures are detailed and clearly described to enable replication of results
what is conceptually systematic?
basic behavioral principles govern sucessful interventions
what is effective?
the result of your intervention are robust
what is generality?
these results are long lasting and apply to other settings
what did pavlov do?
work in respondent conditioning using dogs
what did watson do?
