/. What are the Attitudes of Science? - Answer-determinism, empiricism,
experimentation, replication, parsimony, philosophic doubt
/.Determinism - Answer-the philosophy that holds that every event, action, and decision

lawful and orderly place.
/.Experimentation - Answer-The act of trying out a new procedure, idea, or activity.
/.Empiricism - Answer-Experimental, data-based scientific approach, drawing upon
observation and experience; Requires objective quantification and detailed description
of events; Behavior quantified, thoroughly described, objective observation of behavior
/.Replication - Answer-Repeating experiments; The method that scientists use to
determine the RELIABILITY and usefulness of their findings; How scientists discover
their mistakes, thus making science a self-correcting enterprise
/.Parsimony - Answer-The simplest theory first; Fewest assumptions; All simple and
logical explanations must be ruled out before considering more complex explanations.
/.Philosophical Doubt - Answer-Continually question the truthfulness of what is regarded
as fact.
/.What are the 7 Dimensions of ABA? - Answer-Applied, Behavioral, Analytic,
Technological, Conceptually Systematic, Effective, Generality
/.Behavioral - Answer-Observable events; The behavior one chooses must be the
behavior in need of improvement
/.Analytic aka Functional Relation - Answer-When the experimenter has demonstrated a
functional relation between the manipulated events and a reliable change in some
measureable dimension of the targeted behavior
/.Technological - Answer-Defines procedures clearly and in detail so they are
REPLICABLE (like a recipe)
