UWF EDF 6225 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
SET A+
✔✔The behavior of the organsim - ✔✔Skinner
✔✔Respondents are elicited ("brought out") by stimuli that immediately precede them.
Involuntary responses. Occur whenever eliciting stimulus is present. S-R model. -
✔✔Respondent behavior
✔✔Behavior is shaped through the consequences that immediately follow it. Three-term
contingency. S-R-S model. Behaviors that are influenced by stimulus changes that have
followed through the behavior in the past. - ✔✔Operant behavior
✔✔Private events such as thoughts and feelings are behavior - ✔✔Radical behaviorism
✔✔Behavior that takes place within the skin is distinguished from other ("public")
behavior only by its inaccessibility - ✔✔Radical behaviorism
✔✔Private behavior has no special properties and is influenced by (i.e. is a function of)
the same kinds of variables as publicly accessible behavior - ✔✔Radical behaviorism
✔✔includes and seeks to understand all human behavior, fair-reaching and
thoroughgoing, dramatic departure from other conceptual systems - ✔✔Radical
behaviorism
✔✔One of the first studies to report the human application of operant behavior. The
participant was an 18-year old boy with profound intellectual disability. Arm-raising
response was conditioned by injecting a small amount of a warm sugar-milk solution
into participant's mouth every time he moved his right arm. - ✔✔Fuller (1949)
✔✔"The psychiatric nurse as a behavioral engineer". Formed the basis for branch of
behavior analysis that would alter be called applied behavior analysis. Described
, techniques based on principles of behavior to improve the functioning of chronically
psychotic patients or residents with intellectual diabilities. - ✔✔Ayllon and Michael
(1959)
✔✔Researchers began to apply principles of behavior in an effort to improve socially
important behavior - ✔✔1960s
✔✔Techniques for measuring behavior and controlling and manipulating variables were
sometimes unavailable or inappropriate. Little funding was available. No ready outlet for
publishing studies. - ✔✔1960s
✔✔Formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis. Application of
principles were made. - ✔✔1960s-1970s
✔✔Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) began publication - ✔✔1960s-1970s
✔✔First journal in united states to deal with applied problems and gave researchers
using methodology from the experimental analysis of behavior an outlet for publishing
their findings. Flagship journal of ABA. - ✔✔Journal of applied behavior analysis (JABA)
✔✔Founding fathers of ABA - ✔✔Baer, Wolf, and Risley 1960s-1970s
✔✔Defined the criteria for judging adequacy of research and practice in ABA and
outlines the scope of work for those in the science. Most widely cited publication in ABA
and remains standard description of the discipline. - ✔✔"Some current dimensions of
applied behavior analysis" (Baer, Wolf, and Risley) 1960s-1970s
✔✔Characteristics of ABA - ✔✔1. Applied
2. Behavioral
3. Analytic
4. Technological
5. Conceptually Systematic
6. Effective
7. Generality
✔✔Investigates socially significant behavior with immediate importance to the
participants. Behaviors include: social, language, academic, daily living, self-care,
vocational, recreation and/or leisure. - ✔✔Applied
✔✔Precise measurement of the actual behavior in need of improvement and
documents that it was the participant's behavior that changed. The behavior in need of
improvement and it is a study of behavior (not about behavior). The behavior must be
measurable and important to note whose behavior changed. - ✔✔Behavioral
