1. psychophysical parallelism - ANSWER ✓ While some methodological
behaviorists accept that there are mental states, they have ruled them
completely out of consideration. This is not a new concept and was once
referred to as .
2. methodological - ANSWER ✓ behaviorism might be thought of as a
psychological version of logical positivism or operationism.
3. introspection - ANSWER ✓ Structuralism relied on , which looked inward to
describe sensations, images, and feelings
4. philosophy - ANSWER ✓ "Behaviorism is not the science of human behavior;
it is the of that science" (Skinner, 1974. p.3).
,5. parsimony - ANSWER ✓ With , we look for the simplest explanation possible,
not extensive mentalistic explanations.
6. bias, evidence, replication - ANSWER ✓ In order to be excellent stewards of
science, as behavior analysts, we can follow a few guidelines when gathering
and evaluating evidence. This includes reducing ___ by ensuring
interobserver agreement, examining for actual ___(as opposed to effects that
could have produced changes without the intervention), ___ , and self-
correction.
7. evidence - ANSWER ✓ Being scientifically skeptical means that until there is
available, assumptions should not be made.
8. science, lawful relations - ANSWER ✓ "___ is more than the mere description
of events as they occur. It is an attempt to discover order, to show that certain
events stand in ___ to other events (Skinner, 1953, p.6)."
9. mentalistic, explanatory - ANSWER ✓ In Pavlov's early research, he did not
jump to conclusions to suggest that the dog was "thinking" of food, and
therefore salivating. Instead, he carefully controlled conditions that allowed
him to show that particular stimuli can "acquire" the ability to elicit secretion.
His careful analysis of the scientific method allowed him to avoid both ___
and ___ fictions
, 10. debilitating - ANSWER ✓ The evolutionary explanation for reflexes indicates
that they are for the survival of the organism. However, we know all too well
that sometimes responses can be conditioned that serve no purpose - even add
a __ purpose - to our complex lives.
11. conditioning, stimulus control, novel - ANSWER ✓ Skinner (1953) informed
us "Although the process of __ greatly extends the scope of the eliciting
stimulus, it does not bring all the behavior of the organism within such __ "(p.
56). Conditioning can add numerous different eliciting stimuli, but it will
never fashion a __ response.
12. prediction, control, accessible - ANSWER ✓ According to Skinner,
contingencies of reinforcement have an edge over contingencies of survival
because contingencies of reinforcement "Have the edge with __ and __ and
the conditions under which a species acquires behavior are relatively __ and
can often be manipulated".
13. ontogeny - ANSWER ✓ is the learned behaviors of a particular animal during
its lifetime.
14. phylogeny - ANSWER ✓ is behaviors that have been passed down over the
lifetime of the entire species.
