EDF 6225 FOUNDATIONS OF ABA FINAL
COMPLETE REVIEW GUIDE
◉ Standard Celeration Chart.
Answer: only standardized form of data measurement in our science
◉ Dr Ogden Lindsey.
Answer: coined the term SAFMEDS circa 1980 to refer to the cards
and how to best use them for learning
◉ SAFMEDS.
Answer: Say All Fast Minute Every Day Shuffle
◉ Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).
Answer: - single governing body for professionals in the field of
behavior analysis
- established in 1998 to provide certification to professionals in an
effort to establish minimum criteria to be a reactionary
◉ science.
,Answer: a systematic approach fro seeking and organizing
knowledge about the natural world
◉ Three levels of understanding.
Answer: description, prediction, control
◉ descriptive.
Answer: studies that produce a collection of facts about the
observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examined for
possible relations with other known facts
◉ correlation.
Answer: when a systematic co-variation occurs between two events,
we are able to predict the probability that one event will occur in
conjunction with the other event
◉ control.
Answer: - highest level of scientific understanding
- specifically manipulate one event in order to produce a reliable
change in another event
◉ independent variable.
,Answer: The factor that is manipulated; variable whose effect is
being studied
◉ dependent variable.
Answer: The outcome factor in which we observe change; the
variable that may change in response to manipulations of the
independent variable
◉ Functional Relation.
Answer: when one event is specifically manipulated in order to
produce a reliable change in another event, and the change in the
dependent variable in not likely due to other extraneous factors
(confounding variables)
◉ dependent variable.
Answer: - the "behavior" we wish to change
- the change we see in target bx
◉ independent variable.
Answer: - the "intervention" we employ
- the stimuli we manipulate
◉ Functional Relation.
, Answer: when we manipulate the independent variable and see a
change in the dependent variable and that change is not likely due to
confounding variables
◉ determinism.
Answer: assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place
in which phenomena occur as a result of other events
◉ Empiricism.
Answer: The objective observation of the phenomena of interest
◉ Replication.
Answer: repeating of experiments to determine the reliability and
usefulness of the findings
◉ parsimony.
Answer: considers the simplest , most logical explanation of a
phenomenon before more complex explanations are considered
◉ 3 major branches of behavior analysis.
Answer: Behaviorism
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
