BF Skinner - ANS in preparation for the BCAB certification exam, please know that the
material is based on the work of _____________
Standard Celeration Chart - ANS only standardized form of data measurement in our science
Dr Ogden Lindsey - ANS coined the term SAFMEDS circa 1980 to refer to the cards and how
to best use them for learning
SAFMEDS - ANS Say All Fast Minute Every Day Shuffle
Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) - ANS - 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 - ANS a systematic approach fro seeking and organizing knowledge about the natural
world
Three levels of understanding - ANS description, prediction, control

descriptive - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS - highest level of scientific understanding
- specifically manipulate one event in order to produce a reliable change in another event
independent variable - ANS The factor that is manipulated; variable whose effect is being
studied
dependent variable - ANS The outcome factor in which we observe change; the variable that
may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable
Functional Relation - ANS 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 - ANS - the "behavior" we wish to change
- the change we see in target bx
independent variable - ANS - the "intervention" we employ
- the stimuli we manipulate
Functional Relation - ANS 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 - ANS assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which
phenomena occur as a result of other events
Empiricism - ANS The objective observation of the phenomena of interest
Replication - ANS repeating of experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of the
findings
parsimony - ANS considers the simplest , most logical explanation of a phenomenon before
more complex explanations are considered
3 major branches of behavior analysis - ANS Behaviorism
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Experimental Analysis of Behavior - ANS natural science approach for discovering orderly and
reliable relations between behaviors and various types of environmental variables of which it
functions.
Behaviorism - ANS the science of behavior that focuses on observable behavior only
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - ANS established by Bear, Wolf, and Risley in 1968 with 7
guiding dimentions
Radical Behaviorism - ANS Attempts to study all behavior, including private events, such as
thoughts/feelings, in terms of controlling variables in the history of the person and species.
, ©EVERLY 2025 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
methodological behaviorism - ANS A philosophical position that views behavioral events that
cannot be publicly observed as outside the realm of science.
The Behavior of Organisms - ANS - skinner describes some of his most important research in
____
- describes experiments that demonstrated orderly and reliable relationships between behavior
and the environment
Applied dimension of ABA - ANS - Improving the socially significant behaviors of people's
lives
- Bear et al (1968) : applied research is constrained to examining behaviors which are socially
important (socially significant) rather than convenient for study
Behavioral dimension of ABA - ANS behaviors that are observable and measurable
Analytic dimension of ABA - ANS defines how we arrive to our decision as to whether or not
behavior change occurred as we predicted
technological dimension of ABA - ANS Defines procedures clearly and in detail so they are
replicable
Conceptually Systematic Dimension of ABA - ANS rely on behavioral procedures derived from
the research, not just random attempts to change behavior
Effective (Dimension of ABA) - ANS shows that the behavior we selected was objectively
measures and it demonstrated a reliable change
Generality (Dimension of ABA) - ANS - golden standard of ABA procedures
