Unit 1 Flashcards

1
Q

Natural Enforcement

A

The occurrence of a particular behavior
is followed by an immediate consequence
that results in the strengthening of the behavior. (The person is more likely to engage in the behavior again in the future.)

Q

all behavior has a cause and is thus predictable. Free will is an illusion, and our behavior is governed by internal or external forces over which we have no control.

Q

law of effect. The law of effect states that a behavior that produces a favorable effect on the environment is more likely to be repeated in the future.

Q

A functional relationship is established if:

A

(a) a target behavior changes when an independent variable is manipulated (a procedure is implemented), while all other variables are held constant, and
(b) the process is replicated or repeated one or more times and the behavior changes each time.

Q

looks to the social issue

A

Applied BA

17
Q

when researchers are able to find the causes of behaviors, increase them or decrease them, turn them on/off, often uses reversal technique

A

Analytic BA

18
Q

looks to accurate, replicable, descriptions of behavior

A

Technological BA

19
Q

relevance to principle

A

Effective BA

20
Q

application of techniques over time, across environments, multiple behaviors

A

Generality BA

21
Q

refers to the consistency of a measure

A

Reliability

22
Q

refers to the accuracy of a measure

A

Validity

23
Q

What “rule of thumb” is suggested to determine whether a procedural description is
“technological?

A

whether someone at the plain reading level can replicate the experiment based on the description provided (clarity and accuracy in the description)

24
Q

What is the potential disadvantage of a failure to link behavior-change procedures with their
underlying principles?

A

Failure to bridge can lead to improper/incomplete descriptions of procedures and implications, minimizes the discipline, and makes procedures more difficult to replicate

25
Q

purposes of assessment

A

Measurement of target behavior:
What treatment to apply
Best treatment/ most effective
Measurement of target behavior for change

26
Q

of times behavior occurs in an interval

A

Frequency measurement

27
Q

how long behavior is acted for

A

Duration measurement

28
Q

how long between event and initiation of the behavior

A

Latency measurement

29
Q

time in between behavior and repeat

A

Interresponse time measurement

30
Q

how many intervals in the study did the behavior occur

A

Percent of occurrence measurement

31
Q

behavior is counted if it occurs during part of interval

A

Partial-interval recording

32
Q

behavior is counted if it lasts the duration of the interval

A

Whole-interval recording

33
Q

behavior is counted if it occurs at the end of an interval

A

Momentary time sampling

34
Q

results such as sales are measured rather than the behavior

A

Permanent product measurement

35
Q

3 aspects of a data path that one has to consider before making a phase change

A

level, trend, variability

36
Q

principal limitations of an A-B design

A

A-B cannot demonstrate functional relationship
