Group of answer choices
description
prediction
control
None of these are correct.
None of these are correct.
(A.2.) What does the assumption of parsimony imply in behavior
analysis?
Group of answer choices
Behavior should be analyzed using as many complex theories as
possible.
All behavior is genetically predetermined and unchangeable.
Explanations for behavior should include mentalistic and hypothetical
constructs.
The simplest explanation that accounts for the facts should be
considered before more complex or abstract ones.
The simplest explanation that accounts for the facts should be
considered before more complex or abstract ones.
,A.2.) Which of the following best describes the assumption of
determinism in behavior analysis?
Group of answer choices
The belief that simpler explanations for behavior should be considered
before complex ones.
The idea that behavior is selected over time based on its consequences.
The assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place where all
phenomena occur as a result of other events.
The practice of relying on subjective interpretations rather than
observable evidence.

, (A.3.) A young child repeatedly throws toys when they want attention
from their caregiver. The caregiver often responds by immediately
giving attention, which seems to increase the toy-throwing behavior
over time. A radical behaviorist examines the relationship between the
child's behavior, the environment, and the consequences rather than
focusing on the child's internal feelings or thoughts. From the
perspective of radical behaviorism, how is the child's toy-throwing
behavior best explained?
Group of answer choices
The child has an uncontrollable urge to act out due to internal
emotional states.
The behavior is a product of the environment's history of reinforcement
and consequences.
The child's behavior is random and unrelated to external events.
The behavior is caused by unconscious desires
A.4.) Which statement best describes the relationship among
behaviorism, the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB), applied
behavior analysis (ABA), and professional practice guided by the
science of behavior analysis?
Behaviorism provides the philosophical foundation; EAB conducts basic
research on behavior; ABA applies research findings to improve socially
important behaviors; and professional practice involves implementing
ABA in ethical and effective ways.
Behaviorism focuses only on reflexive actions; EAB studies complex
mental processes; ABA ignores research and relies on intuition; and
professional practice is synonymous with counseling psychology.
Behaviorism is unrelated to EAB; ABA is only concerned with animal
behavior; and professional practice excludes the use of ABA principles.
Behaviorism and ABA are the same; EAB only studies human behavior;
and professional practice is primarily theoretical.
Behaviorism provides the philosophical foundation; EAB conducts basic
