The level of investigation that involves the collection of facts about observed events that can be
quantified,classified and examined for possible relations with other known facts. Often suggests
hypothesis or question for additional research
Description
The level of investigation in which functional relations can be derived is
control
The overall goal of _________ is the achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomenon
under study
science
, This is the assumption upon which science is predicated, the idea that the universe is a lawful
and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other events.
Determinism
This is the idea that simple, logical explanations must be rules out, experimentally or
conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered
Parsimony
This is the branch of behavior analysis that focuses on basic research:
Experimental analysis of behavior
The S-R-S model of psychology is also known as:
Three-term contingency
The person is considered to be the founder of experimental analysis of behavior
B.F. Skinner
This is the approach to understanding behavior that assumes that a mental or "inner" dimension
exists that differs from a behavioral dimension and that phenomena in this dimension either
directly cause or at least mediate some forms of behavior.
Mentalism
These events marked the formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis.
The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis began publication and "Some Current Dimensions of
Applied Behavior Analysis" by Baer, Wolf, and Risley was published
This is the defining characteristic of behavior analysis hat focuses on investigating socially
significant behaviors with immediate importance to the participants
Applied
This is the defining characteristic of applied behavior analysis that demonstrates experimental
control over the occurrence and non-occurrence of the behavior.
Analytic
Name of attitude of science
(DEERPP - determinism, empiricism, experimentation, replication, parsimony, philosophic
doubt)
What is the philosophy of science of behavior?
determinism
True or False: Radical behaviorism (Skinner) includes and seeks to understand all human
behavior
