Independent variable
Explanatory fictions describe behavior as cause by:______
Hypothetical construct within individual or future events
environmental explanations describe
Behavior as a function of current environment and past experience
Parsimony
Rule out simple explanations before evaluating complex ones
Functional relation is a mathematical:____
Relation between IV & DV
Contingency
Dependent relation between events
Selectionism
Genetic and behavioral diversity is a result of selection
Selection
Variation and interaction with the environment results in
Differential replication
Selection
Repeated cycles of
Variation, interaction and differential replication
Determinants of behavior
Biological and environment factors
Determinism
Phenomena are lawful and occur in a systematic way
Consequence Effect
Weakening
Decreases future probability of a behavior
Consequence Effect
Strengthening
Increases the future probability of behavior
