EDF 6226 EXAM 1, EDF 6226 EXAM
1 /GRADED A+
1. The ratio of the x axis to the y axis should be...? - ANSWER-2:3
2. What is correlation? - ANSWER-A relationship between two variables
that can be used to predict the relative probability that one event will
occur, based on the presence of the other event
3. What are the three levels of scientific understanding? - ANSWER-
Description, prediction, control
4. Dr. Pennypacker made an important distinction that we do not control
behavior, what we do control is the ..... - ANSWER-Environment
5. True or False: Behavior analysts believe that behavior is intrinsic to the
organism - ANSWER-False - we believe behavior is extrinsic to the
organism
6. What is prediction in behavior analysis? - ANSWER-The anticipated
outcome of presently known or future measurement. It is the most
elegant use of quantification upon which validation of all scientific and
technological activity rests - Pennypacker
7. What is experimental control? - ANSWER-A predictable change in
behavior can be reliably produced by the systematic manipulation of
some aspect of the persons environment
8. What two things make up experimental control? - ANSWER-Internal
validity + external validity
, 9. What variable is dependent in behavior analysis? - ANSWER-Behavior
10. What variable is independent in behavior analysis? - ANSWER-
The environmental manipulations
11. What variables do we have to control in order to establish
experimental control? - ANSWER-Two - independent variables and
extraneous variables
12. What type of experimental design involves manipulating the
value of the independent variable? - ANSWER-Parametric
13. What type of experimental design involves manipulating the
presentation or removal of the independent variable? - ANSWER-
Nonparametric
14. What is verification in behavior analysis? - ANSWER-Verification
of the previously predicted level of baseline by termination or
withdrawal of the independent/treatment variable
15. What is replication in behavior analysis? - ANSWER-Reintroducing
the treatment variable
16. What is the definition of a functional relation in behavior
analysis? - ANSWER-A statement that occurs when a well-controlled
experiment demonstrates that a specific change in one event is
reliably produced by specific manipulations of the other event, and
that change was unlikely due to extraneous variables
