UWF: EDF6225-FOUNDATIONS OF ABA (EXAM 1) COMPLETE
QUESTIONS WITH 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
\.Although most of you are preparing for the BACB certification
exam, please know that the material is based on the work of
________ and his science and philosophy of human behavior.
There are occasions where we may spend time on items that
are no longer specifically required for the exam, but we feel are
required to be an excellent behavior scientist. - ANSWERS-B.F.
Skinner
\.The ________ is the only standardized form of data
measurement in our science. In this course, you will be charting
your own behavior - specifically your daily study of ABA
terminology. - ANSWERS-Standard Celeration Chart (SCC)
\.The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) is the single
governing body for professionals in the field of _______. The
BACB was established in 1998 to provide certification to
professionals in an effort to establish minimum criteria to be a
reactionary in the field. - ANSWERS-Applied Behavior Analysis
,\.The standard celeration chart is the only standardized form of
data ______ in our science. - ANSWERS-measurement
\.The word _______ refers to a systematic approach for seeking
and organizing knowledge about the natural world. - ANSWERS-
systematic approach
\.Scientific investigations can yield information regarding the
three levels of understanding, which are _____ ,_______ , and
_______. - ANSWERS-description, prediction, control.
\.What is the purpose for this systematic approach? - ANSWERS-
-To achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under
study.
-To seek to discover the real truths.
--so no bias by groups or organizations
--or by the scientists themselves.
\._______ studies produce a collection of facts about the
observed events that can be quantified, classified, and
examined for possible relations with other known facts.
,(Can also suggest hypothesis, questions, or additional research
ideas.) - ANSWERS-Description
\.The highest level of scientific understanding is ________ . In
this regard, we specifically manipulate one event (the
independent variable) in order to produce a reliable change in
another event (the dependent variable), and the change in the
dependent variable is not likely due to other extraneous factors
(known as confounding variables). This relationship is referred
to as a _______. - ANSWERS-Control; functional relationship
\.The _________ is the event in which we observe change. -
ANSWERS-dependent variable
\.What is a functional relationship? - ANSWERS-It exists when a
well-controlled experiment demonstrates that a specific change
in one event (the dependent variable) is reliably produced by
specific manipulations of another event (the independent
variable), and that the change in the dependent variable was
unlikely to be the result of other extraneous factors
(confounding variables).
, \.The _______ is the event in which we manipulate. - ANSWERS-
independent variable
\.The "behavior" we wish to change in behavior analysis is
known as the _________. (2) - ANSWERS-dependent variable
(2)
\.The "intervention" we employ in behavior analysis is known as
the ________. (2) - ANSWERS-independent variable (2)
\.When we apply an intervention, we are manipulating the
_______ . The change we see in the target behavior is known as
the ________. - ANSWERS-independent variable; dependent
variable
\.A _______ is demonstrated when we ________ the
independent variable and see a ____ in the dependent variable
and that change is not likely due to______. - ANSWERS-
functional relationship; manipulate; change; extraneous
variables
