UPDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
VIEW AHEAD PREP MATERIAL SOLVED
⩥ purpose of science.
Answer: ◦To achieve a thorough understanding of the
phenomena under study
⩥ ABA seeks to.
Answer: discover the real truths (not those held by certain
groups, organizations, etc.)
⩥ Three different types of investigations provide different levels
of understanding.
Answer: 1. description
2. prediction
3. control
⩥ description.
,Answer: ◦Collection of facts about observed events that can be
quantified, classified, & examined for possible relations with
other known facts
◦Often suggests hypotheses or questions for additional research
⩥ prediction.
Answer: ◦Relative probability that when one event occurs,
another event will or will not occur
◦Based on repeated observation revealing relationships between
various events
◦Demonstrates correlation between events
◦No causal relationships can be interpreted
◦Enables preparation
⩥ control.
Answer: ◦Highest level of scientific understanding
◦Functional relations can be derived
Specific change in one event (dependent variable)....
Can reliably be produced by specific manipulations of another
event (independent variable)...
And the change in the dependent variable was unlikely to be the
result of other extraneous factors (confounding variables)
, ◦Events can only really be "co-related"
Nearly impossible to factor out all other possible "causes"
⩥ attitudes of science.
Answer: - Definition of science lies within the behavior of
scientists, not the instruments or materials they use
- Only known as science due to an overriding idea of "scientific
method"
- Fundamental assumptions about the nature of events
⩥ 6 attitudes of science.
Answer: 1. DETERMINISM
2. EMPIRICISM
3. EXPERIMENTATION
4. REPLICATION
5. PARSIMONY
6. PHILOSOPHIC DOUBT
⩥ determinism.
Answer: - Assumption upon which science is predicted
