(EXAM 1) EXAM WITH CORRECT ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECTLY WELL
DEFINED ANSWERS LATEST ALREADY
GRADED A+
Define behaviorism. - ANSWERS-It is the philosophy of the
science of behavior, basic research is the province of the
experimental analysis of behavior (EAB), and developing a
technology for improving behavior is the concern of applied
behavior analysis (ABA).
_______ attempts to explain all behavior, including private
events such as thinking and feeling. _______ is the
philosophical position that considers behavioral events that
cannot be publicly observed outside the realm of science.
These two are drastically different. - ANSWERS-Radical
behaviorism; Mentalism
Who is B.F. Skinner and why do we still learn about him
today? - ANSWERS-He did the radical behaviorism and he
defined operant behavior. One of the founding fathers of a
,ABA. Skinner did a lot including when we talked about
verbal Behavior, operant behavior, the history of radical
behaviorism, and the development of Aba.
What is Mentalism? - ANSWERS-A mental or "inner"
Dimension exist that is different from a behavioral
dimension.
What role does mentalism play in Skinners radical
behaviorism? - ANSWERS-So with radical behaviorism, we're
saying that because of mentalism we essentially could study
what happens internally with thought processes and
reinforcement processes that happen entirely inside of
someone. But that is more difficult because it is going to be
less accessible. Meanwhile observable behavior is much
easier.
Describe Respondent Beahvior - ANSWERS--It is reflexive
behavior
-Ivan Pavlov (1927/1960)
-Respondents are elicited ("brought on by") stimuli that
immediately precedes them.
-Antecedent stimulus and response it elicits from a
functional unit called a reflex.
,-Involuntary response.
-Occur whenever elicit stimulus is present.
-S-R model (represents it)
(dog drooling is respondent bx)
Describe Operant behavior. - ANSWERS--Behavior is shaped
through the consequences that immediately follow it.
-Three-term contingency.
-S-R-S model
(an extra stimulus is added at the end, which is also how
behavior is formed).
-Behaviors that are influenced bu stimulus changes that
have followed the behavior in the past.
Give an example of Operant behavior. - ANSWERS-if I had a
dog on the nose every time it comes to me over the
overtime that dog is going to come to me less and less dogs
learned that after the response of coming to me to be pet
but she will receive the signals of getting hit that behavior
will change.
behaviors are influenced by stimulus changes that have
followed the behavior of the past. So what has happened to
us before we learn from it and change how we interact.
, what is radical behaviorism (Skinner's behaviorism). it
Makes three assumptions about the nature of private
events. - ANSWERS--private events such as thoughts and
feelings or behavior.
-behavior that takes place within the skin is distinguished
from other "public" behavior only by its inaccessibility.
-private Behavior has no special properties and is influenced
by (i.e. is a function of) the same kinds of variable as
publicly accessible Behavior.
define radical behaviorism - ANSWERS--makes 3
assumptions about the nature of private events.
-includes and seeks to understand all human behavior.
--far reaching and thouroughgoing
--dramatic departure from other conceptual systems.
describe 1950s FUller (1949) - ANSWERS-one of the first
studies to report human application of operant behavior.
-participant 18 year old boy with profound intellectual
disability
