Module 6: Foundational Terminology Cumulative Assessment
1, For the following foundational term, please select the definition below that best matches the
term.
behavior
a) Requires that experimenters have used single subject research designs to demonstrate a
functional relation, or a believable demonstration of the efficacy of an intervention.
b) 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.
c) Reinforcement and Punishment.
d) Requires the thorough and accurate description of procedures used in interventions.
e) Requires that variables under study be observable and measurable.
f) Requires that behaviors last over time and appear in other environments other than the
that of training.
g) Represents Skinner’s “far-reaching” and “thoroughgoing” form of behaviorism that
includes both public and private behaviors.
h) 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.
i) Requires that improvement of behavior be socially significant and based on a visual
analysis of data.
j) Requires that scientists and practitioners selecting behaviors for change that are socially
significant.
k) Requires that interventions used must be based on the principles of behavior and have
empirical evidence supporting efficacy.
l) Refers to a philosophical position in which behavioral events that cannot be observed are
not behaviors.
