, science - with answers:Systematic approach for seeking & organizing knowledge about
the natural world
purpose of science - with answers:◦To achieve a thorough understanding of the
phenomena under study
ABA seeks to - with answers:discover the real truths (not those held by certain groups,
organizations, etc.)
Three different types of investigations provide different levels of understanding - with
answers:1. description
2. prediction
3. control
description - with answers:◦Collection of facts about observed events that can be
quantified, classified, & examined for possible relations with other known facts
◦Often suggests hypotheses or questions for additional research
prediction - with answers:◦Relative probability that when one event occurs, another
event will or will not occur
◦Based on repeated observation revealing relationships between various events
◦Demonstrates correlation between events
◦No causal relationships can be interpreted
◦Enables preparation
control - with answers:◦Highest level of scientific understanding
◦Functional relations can be derived
Specific change in one event (dependent variable)....
Can reliably be produced by specific manipulations of another event (independent
variable)...
And the change in the dependent variable was unlikely to be the result of other
extraneous factors (confounding variables)
◦Events can only really be "co-related"
Nearly impossible to factor out all other possible "causes"
attitudes of science - with answers:- Definition of science lies within the behavior of
scientists, not the instruments or materials they use
- Only known as science due to an overriding idea of "scientific method"
- Fundamental assumptions about the nature of events
6 attitudes of science - with answers:1. DETERMINISM
2. EMPIRICISM
3. EXPERIMENTATION
