✔✔behavior that is selected by interactions with the environment... - ✔✔ontogenic
✔✔human behavior is a product of the contingencies of survival that account for
respondent behavior and the contingencies of reinforcement.... this statement reflects
the underlying philosophical assumption known as - ✔✔selectionism
✔✔experimentation - ✔✔- involves arranging events to evaluate their influence on other
events
- is a defining feature of behavior analysis
✔✔experimentation - ✔✔- requires manipulation of the independent variable
- is an evaluation of how on event is influenced by other events
