SPE 563 Foundational Terminology Cumulative
Assessment Test With Solution
Applied - ANSWER Requires that scientists and practitioners selecting
behaviors for change that are socially significant.
Experimental Analysis of Behavior - ANSWER Founded by Skinner, this
natural science focuses on studying operant behavior as a subject matter,
using single subject experimental designs rather than group designs, to
measure behavior as a dependent variable.
Analytic - ANSWER Requires that experimenters have used single subject
research designs to demonstrate a functional relation, or a believable
demonstration of the efficacy of an intervention.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - ANSWER This is the science in which the
principles of behavior are used to improve socially important behaviors and
experimental analysis is used to determine which variables are responsible
for improvement.
Behavior - ANSWER Requires that variables under study be observable and
measurable.
Methodological Behavior - ANSWER Refers to a philosophical position in
which behavioral events that cannot be observed are not behaviors.
Principles of Behavior - ANSWER Reinforcement and Punishment.
Technical - ANSWER Requires the thorough and accurate description of
procedures used in interventions.
Generativity - ANSWER Requires that behaviors last over time and appear in
, other environments other than the that of training.
Effective - ANSWER Requires that improvement of behavior be socially
significant and based on a visual analysis of data.
Determinism - ANSWER An assumption that the universe is a lawful and
orderly place in which phenomena occur in relation to other events, not in
accidental fashion.
Natural Event - ANSWER An event that is locatable in time and space in the
natural world.
Pragmatism - ANSWER The notion that a question is only worth pursuing if
the answer to it would change our knowledge of the world.
Mentalism - ANSWER An assumption of an "inner" dimension as the
explanation of behavior.
Public Event - ANSWER An event observed by another person.
Explanatory Fiction - ANSWER A fictitious variable, often another name for
an observable behavior, which implies an inner cause for the behavior.
Private Event - ANSWER An event that can only be observed and verified by
the individual performing the behavior.
Realism - ANSWER The view of the world that assumes only the natural
world, which presupposes an absolute truth.
