SPE 563 TIPS ALL ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS SET
A+
✔✔What Is Stimulus-Response Relationship? - ✔✔The relation between a stimulus and
the activity it induces.
✔✔What Is Verbal Cue? - ✔✔A verbal discriminative stimulus that signals the
availability of reinforcement and may induce an activity.
✔✔What Is Situational Ethics? - ✔✔A tendency to tailor behavior about right and wrong
or good and bad to specific situations rather than more generally.
✔✔What term describes the process of systematically applying interventions based on
the principles of behavior to improve socially significant behaviors? - ✔✔Applied
Behavior Analysis
✔✔Which term refers to the process of breaking down complex behaviors into smaller,
more manageable components for easier analysis and intervention? - ✔✔Behavioral
Decomposition
✔✔What term describes the phenomenon where a behavior that has been previously
extinguished reappears after some time has passed? - ✔✔Spontaneous Recovery
✔✔Which term refers to the process of reinforcing successive approximations of a
desired behavior until the desired behavior is achieved? - ✔✔Shaping
✔✔What term describes the process of gradually reducing the frequency or strength of
a behavior by withholding reinforcement? - ✔✔Extinction
✔✔ Definition of Behaviorism - ✔✔Assumption of an 'inner' dimension as the
explanation of behavior
, ✔✔Definition of Naturalism - ✔✔Assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly
place in which phenomena occur in relation to other events, not in accidental fashion
✔✔Principle of Parsimony - ✔✔Ruling out simple and logical explanations first, before
considering more complex or abstract explanations
✔✔Empiricism - ✔✔Best represents the idea that an event is locatable in time and
space in the natural world
✔✔Scientific Materialism - ✔✔View of the world that assumes only the natural world,
which presupposes an absolute truth
✔✔Criterion of Empirical Significance - ✔✔Question worth pursuing only if the answer
would change our knowledge of the world
✔✔Experimental Control - ✔✔Process of controlling variables to determine the effect of
one variable on a phenomena
✔✔Dependent Variable - ✔✔Behavior under investigation
✔✔Independent Variable - ✔✔Intervention used in an investigation to study its effects
on a behavior
✔✔Methodology - ✔✔Method used to confirm efficacy and display reliability of scientific
study
✔✔Which Term Refers to Demonstrating That the Dependent Variable Would Not
Change Without Application of an Independent Variable? - ✔✔
✔✔Which Term Describes Being Able to Anticipate How a Behavior Will Occur in the
Future? - ✔✔
✔✔This Term Refers to a Philosophical Position in Which Behavioral Events That
Cannot Be Observed Are Not Behaviors. - ✔✔
✔✔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. - ✔✔
✔✔Which Term Refers to the Philosophy of a Science Based on Observable and
Measurable Phenomena? - ✔✔
