The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) is the single governing body for
professionals in the field of ______ - ✔️Applied behavioral analysis
The BACB was established in ______ to provide certification to professionals in an
effort to establish minimum criteria to be a reactionary in the field. - ✔️1998
SAFMEDS stands for - ✔️Say All Fast a Minute Each Day Shuffled
Who created SAFMEDS - ✔️Dr. Ogden Lindsley
3 levels of understanding - ✔️description, prediction, control
description - ✔️consist of a collection of facts about the observed events that can be
quantified, classified, or examined for possible relations with other known facts.
prediction - ✔️relative probability that when one event occurs, another event will or will
not occur
control - ✔️highest level of understanding
functional relations can be derived
When a systematic covariation occurs between two events, we are able to predict the
probability that one event will occur in conjunction with the other event. This is
called________ - ✔️correlation
_______________studies produce a collection of facts about the observed events that
can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible relations with other known
facts. - ✔️descriptive
manipulating 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_______ - ✔️functional relationship
, A _______________is demonstrated when we _______________ the independent
variable and see a _______________ in the dependent variable and that change is not
likely due to _______________. - ✔️functional relationship, manipulate, change,
extraneous variables
dependent variable - ✔️the event in which we observe change
independent variable - ✔️the event in which we manipulate
The "behavior" we wish to change in behavior analysis is known as the - ✔️dependent
variable
The "intervention" we employ in behavior analysis is known as the - ✔️Independent
variable
When we apply an intervention, we are manipulating the _______________. The
change we see in the target behavior is known as the ______ - ✔️IV, DV
_______________ is the assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in
which phenomena occur as a result of other events. _______________ is the objective
observation of the phenomena of interest. _______________ is the repeating of
experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of the findings. -
✔️determinism, empiricism, replication
determinism - ✔️The universe is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena
occurs as the result of other events.
free will - ✔️The idea that human beings are free to make their own choices
accidentalism - ✔️A philosophical position antithetical to determinism that holds that
events occur by accident or without cause
fatalism - ✔️the belief that all events are determined in advance by fate and cannot be
changed by human means
Can Accidentalism and Fatalism occur concurrently with Determinism? - ✔️No
Empiricism - ✔️the practice of objective observation of the phenomena of interest
What is all scientific knowledge based on? - ✔️empiricism
Experimentation - ✔️the controlled comparison of some measure of the phenomenon
of interest (DV) under two or more different conditions in which only 1 factor at a time
(IV) differs from one condition to another
