QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
lawful, orderly. ANSWER - Determinism
objective observation. ANSWER - Empiricism
natural science methods discover general bx principles (in the lab). ANSWER -
Experimental Analysis
simplest, requires fewest assumptions. ANSWER - Parsimony
anything an organism does (dead man's test). ANSWER - Behavior
accepts a mental basis for human bx. ANSWER - Mentalism
objectively observable, quantifiable behavioral events. ANSWER - Environmental
Explanations
clinical (lab) science on basic principles of bx, no social significance. ANSWER -
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
bx change methods of ABA & scientific knowledge they came from (how we do what we do,
tools in toolbox). ANSWER - Behavioral Technology
,systematically applied procedures for socially significant bx change. ANSWER - Applied
Behavior Analysis
Dimensions of ABA. ANSWER - Applied
Behavioral
Technological
Conceptually systematic
Effective
Generalization
social significance of the bx. ANSWER - Applied
observable bx (what you do, not say you do). ANSWER - Behavioral
data driven, shows experimental control over bx or non-bx. ANSWER - Analytic
data moving in desired direction (observable bx change, not a cure but practical results).
ANSWER - Effective
described in detail to enable others to replicate the procedure (task analysis). ANSWER -
Technological
procedures derived from basic bx principles, (based on literature) concept=idea, theory;
system=process. ANSWER - Conceptually Systematic
results last across people, places, & time. ANSWER - Generality
maintained over time. ANSWER - Retention
resistant to extinction. ANSWER - Endurance
you know it (not sort of). ANSWER - Stability
,specific instance of a particular bx. ANSWER - Response
share common elements to produce same consequence
"Hi" /"Hello". ANSWER - Response Class
any condition, event, or change in the environment (function=way it works;
topographical=way it looks). ANSWER - Stimulus
set of stimuli with a common relationship (color). ANSWER - Stimulus Class
stimulus is added & likelihood of future bx increases. ANSWER - Positive Reinforcement
stimulus is removed/avoided & likelihood of future bx increases. ANSWER - Negative
Reinforcement
process (reinforcement) of increasing rate of bx through the addition or removal of a
stimulus (reinforcer). ANSWER - Reinforcement
unlearned, stimuli able to increase future rate of bx without previous exposure (H2O, O2,
sex, sleep, pain). ANSWER - Unconditioned Reinforcer
learned, reinforcers which have been paired with other reinforcers in the past ($, toys,
praise, token). ANSWER - Conditioned Reinforcer
stimulus is added & likelihood of future bx decreases. ANSWER - Positive Punishment
stimulus is removed & likelihood of future bx decreases (negative means remove doesn't
describe disruptive). ANSWER - Negative Punishment
weakens the response it follows without previous exposure (pain, aversive, bright lights...).
ANSWER - Unconditioned Punisher
, items have been associated with punishment now decrease the likelihood of bx (baby given
poor work eval). ANSWER - Conditioned Punishment
when bx's are emitted more often in the presence of certain stimuli. ANSWER - Stimulus
Control
signals the availability of a reinforcer (sale, open, you've got mail, ice cream truck, operators
standing by). ANSWER - Discriminative Stimulus (Sd)
signals that the reinforcer is unavailable (empty coffee cup, cloudy weather says sun is
unavailable). ANSWER - S-delta
increases the value of a reinforcer (EO is a value of the reinforcer, not the reinforcer itself).
ANSWER - Establishing/Motivating Operation
complete description of the operant (IF THEN)
definition of bx (limit, range to produce consequence)
specified consequence
environmental situation consequence influences bx. ANSWER - Contingency
need to manipulate A's & adjust C's (did intervention have impact on the bx) need more
than 1 occurance. ANSWER - Functional Relations
withholding of a reinforcer for a previously reinforced bx (R+ is no longer available).
ANSWER - Extinction
an immediate increase in the frequency, intensity & variability of the bx when reinforcement
is removed. ANSWER - Extinction Burst
bx change is maintained over time, applied in other settings or conditions & expands to
other bx's. ANSWER - Generalization
