Week 1 Flashcards
Stimulus-stimulus pairing
Occurrence of two or more stimuli at approximately the same time
Watsonian Behaviorism
Stimulus-Response (S-R) Psychology
Radical behaviorist
Behaviorist who studies all human behavior (public and private)
Conditioned Response (CR)
A learned response elicited by CS
Behaviorism
The philosophy of the science of behavior
Three branches of behavior analyses
Behaviorism, EAB, and ABA
Response
Specific instance of a behavior
Reflex
(Stimulus + response) Functional Unit
Behavioral
Selected behaviors for change must be measurable and observable
Define EAB
Laboratory research on basic processes and principles
Skinner was a _________ behaviorist
Radical
Attitudes of Science
-Determinism
-Empiricism
-Experimentation
-Replication
-Parsimony
-Philosophic doubt
Respondent Conditioning
NS squires the eliciting property of US or CS through stimulus-stimulus pairing
Respondent Behavior
Response that is elicited by antecedent stimuli
7 Dimensions of ABA
-Applied
-Behavioral
-Analytic
-Technological
-Conceptual Systematic
-Effective
-Generality
ABA
Applied behavioral analysis
Unlearned stimulus that elicits a UR is _______
US
Higher order pairing or conditioning
The process of pairing NS with CS
Define ABA
Applying basic principles of behavior to solve problems of social significance
Respondent Extinction
Presentation of CS without US and the CS loses its eliciting function
EAB
The experimental analysis of behavior
Parsimony
Experimentally or conceptually ruling out all simple logical explanations for the phenomenon first.
Activation Syndrome
UR that involves smooth muscles (stomach, heart glands) elicited by painful or intense stimulus.
Analytic
Demonstrating functional relationship between IV and DV
Determinism
Presumption that the universe is lawful and orderly place.
Applied
Teaching or increasing socially significant appropriate behaviors.
Accidentalism
Presumption that events in universe occur by accident.
Habituation
Due to continuous exposure, CS or US elicit gradually diminishing response rates.
Fatalism
Belief that events are predetermined (no cause and effect)
Empiricism
Objective observation of the phenomenon of interest.
Replication
Repeating an experiment to get the same results.
Emotions are
Conditioned responses
Unconditioned response
An unlearned response elicited by US
Experimentation
Basic strategy to establish cause and effect relationships
All scientific knowledge is built on
Empiricism
Respondent behavior is
Involuntary
Behavior analysts first assumes
Lawfulness
The stimulus that elicits a CR is
Conditioned stimulus (CS)
Dependent variable
Phenomena under investigation (target behavior)
Conceptually systematic
Using principles of behavior analysis to describe and develop behavior change procedures
Unconditioned stimulus (US)
Stimulus that elicits a response without prior learning
