radical behaviorism correct answers Represents Skinner's "far-reaching" and "thoroughgoing" form of behaviorism that includes both public and private behaviors. behavior correct answers Requires that variables under study be observable and measurable. methodological behavior correct answers Refers to a philosophical position in which behavioral events that cannot be observed are not behaviors. analytic correct answers Requires that experimenters have used single subject research designs to demonstrate a functional relation, or a believable demonstration of the efficacy of an intervention. applied behavior analysis correct answers This is the science in which the principles of behavior are used to improve socially important behaviors and experimental analysis is used to determine which variables are responsible for improvement. experimental analysis of behavior correct answers 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. conceptual correct answers Requires that interventions used must be based on the principles of behavior and have empirical evidence supporting efficacy. applied correct answers Requires that scientists and practitioners selecting behaviors for change that are socially significant. generativity correct answers Requires that behaviors last over time and appear in other environments other than the that of training. principles of behavior correct answers Reinforcement and Punishment. determinism correct answers An assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena occur in relation to other events, not in accidental fashion. private event correct answers An event that can only be observed and verified by the individual performing the behavior pragmatism correct answers The notion that a question is only worth pursuing if the answer to it would change our knowledge of the world. realism correct answers The view of the world that assumes only the natural world, which presupposes an absolute truth.
