UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
purposes of science - CORRECT ANSWER -description, control, prediction
scientific observations help... - CORRECT ANSWER -describe behavior accurately
correlation - CORRECT ANSWER -two events occur in a consistent pattern with one another
functional relations - CORRECT ANSWER -statements that describe the occurrence of the
phenomena under study as a function of the operation of specific variables
6 attitudes of science - CORRECT ANSWER -determinism, empiricism, experimentation,
replication, parsimony, philosophical doubt
determinism - CORRECT ANSWER -presumption that universe is lawful and orderly and
everything occurs as a result of other events, nothing is accidental
empiricism - CORRECT ANSWER -objective observation and measurement
experiment - CORRECT ANSWER -controlled comparison of a dependent variable under the
conditions of two or more independent variables
functional analysis - CORRECT ANSWER -demonstration of functional relations between between
environmental variables and behavior, method of assessing the controlling variables of problem behavior,
informs design of effective treatment
replication - CORRECT ANSWER -makes science a self-correcting practice that eventually
understands the phenomenon at hand
, parsimony - CORRECT ANSWER -all simple, logical explanations, for behavior be ruled out
before more complex or abstract explanations are considered
philosophical doubt - CORRECT ANSWER -constantly be skeptical of yet willing to accept all
scientific findings
"The Behavior of Organisms" (Skinner, 1938) - CORRECT ANSWER -introduced concept of
operant conditioning
EAB (Experimental Analysis of Behavior) - CORRECT ANSWER -within-subject analysis of
behavior, demonstrations of functional relations between behavior and environmental events
radical behaviorism - CORRECT ANSWER -rejects the existence of private events
JABA (Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis) - CORRECT ANSWER -first behavior journal tin
the US to deal with applied problems
components specified in definition of ABA - CORRECT ANSWER -demonstrates a functional
analysis of the factors responsible for the behavior change, procedures are derived from the principles of
behavior, applied behavior analysis seeks to produce statistically significant results
7 dimensions of ABA - CORRECT ANSWER -BAT CAGE: behavioral, applied, tachnological,
conceptual systems, analytic, generality, effective
applied - CORRECT ANSWER -making beneficial changes in behaviors that improve clients' lives
study is analytic when - CORRECT ANSWER -demonstrating functional relationship between the
manipulated events and the behavior of interest and control over the non-occurrence/occurrence of bx
technological - CORRECT ANSWER -all procedures described with detail and clarity
