6 ATTITUDES OF SCIENCE - Answer-1. DETERMINISM 2. EMPIRICISM 3. EXPERIMENTATION 4. REPLICATION 6. PHILOSOPHIC DOUBT 7 DIMENSIONS OF ABA - Answer-APPLIED BEHAVIORAL ANALYTICAL CONCEPTUALLY SYSTEMATIC EFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGICAL GENERALITY A-B Design - Answer-a two phase experimental design consisting of a pre-treatment baseline condition (A) followed by a treatment condition (B) also TEACHING DESIGN A-B-A DESIGN - Answer-Withdrawal design; considerations: end on baseline A-B-A-B DESIGN - Answer-Reversal design; an experiment reintroducing the intervention enables the replication of treatment effects, which strengthens the demonstration of experimental control. Considerations: end on intervention phase ABOLISHING OPERATION - Answer-A motivating operation that TEMPORARILY decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus thereby having an ABATIVE EFFECT on behavior ACCURACY - Answer-The extent to which observed values, the data produced by measuring an event, match the true state, or true values, of the event as it exists in natureALTERNATING TREATMENT DESIGN - Answer-the rapid alternation of two or more distinct treatments while their effects on the target behavior are measured ANALYTICAL - Answer-a functional relation is demonstrated & decisions are data based ANECDOTAL OBSERVATION - Answer-a form of direct, continuous observation in which the observer records a descriptive, temporally sequenced account of all behavior(s) of interest and the antecedent conditions and consequences for those behaviors as those events occur in the client's natural environment ANTECDENT - Answer-An environmental condition or stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a behavior of interest. APPLIED - Answer-behavior(s) selected for analysis & change are socially significant APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS - Answer-The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior AUTOMATIC REINFORCEMENT - Answer-Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others (e.g., scratching an insect bite relieves the itch). AUTOMATICITY OF REINFORCEMENT - Answer-behavior is modified by its consequences irrespective of the person's awareness AVERSIVE STIMULUS - Answer-an unpleasant or noxious stimulus AVOIDANCE CONTINGENCY - Answer-contingency in which a response prevents or postpones the presentation of a stimulusEX: opening an umbrella prevents presentation of rainBACKWARD CHAINING - Answer-a teaching procedure in which a trainer completes all but the last behavior in a chain, which is performed by the learner, who the receives reinforcement fo completing the chain. BASELINE - Answer-A condition of an experiment in which the independent variable is not present; data obtained during baseline are the basis for determining the effects of the independent variable/basis of comparison a control condition that does not necessarily mean the absence of instruction or treatment, only the absence of a specific independent variable of experimental interest. BASELINE LOGIC - Answer-the experimental reasoning inherent in single subject experimental designs; entails three elements: prediction, verification, and replication. BEHAVIOR - Answer-the activity of living organisms, everything that an organism does. " that portion of an organsim's interaction with its environment that is characterized by detectable displacement in space through time of some part of the organism and results in a measurable change in at least one aspect of the environment" BEHAVIOR - Answer-the activity of living organisms; "that portion of an organism's interaction with its environment that is characterized by detectable displacement in space through time of some part of the organism and that results in a measurable change in at least one aspect of the environment" BEHAVIOR CHAIN - Answer-a sequence of responses in which each response prduces a stimulus change that functions as conditioned reinforcemnt for that response and as a discriminative stimulus for the next response in the chain; reinforcement for the last response in a chain maintains the reinforcing effectiveness of the stimulus changes produced by all previous responses in the chain BEHAVIOR CHANGE TACTIC - Answer-a consistent method for changing behavior derived from one or more principles of behavior. BEHAVIOR CHECKLIST - Answer-a checklist that provides descriptions of specific skills and the conditions under which each skill should be observed BEHAVIOR TRAP - Answer-An interrelated community of contingencies of reinforcement that can be especially powerful, producing substantial and long-lasting behavior changes.BEHAVIORAL - Answer-behavior(s) is observable & measurable, documented that it is the subject's behavior that has changed BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT - Answer-a form of assessment that involves a full range of inquiry methods (observation, interview, testing, and the systematic manipulation of antecedent or consequence variables) to identity probable antecedent and consequent controlling variables. BEHAVIORAL CUSP - Answer-a behavior that has sudden and dramatic consequences that extend well beyond the idiosyncratic change itself because it exposes the person to new environments, reinforcers, contingencies, responses, and stimulus controls BEHAVIORAL MOMENTUM - Answer-A metaphor to describe a rate of responding and its resistance to change following an alteration in reinforcement conditions. BEHAVIORAL TRAP - Answer-The phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by a change in the response rate in the opposite direction on the other, unaltered component of the schedule. CELERATION - Answer-the change (acceleration or deceleration) in rate of responding over time CHANGING CRITERION DESIGN - Answer-An experimental Design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by a series of treatment phases consisting of successive and gradually changing criteria for reinforcement or punishment. Experimental control is evidenced by the extent the level of responding changes to conform to each new criterion.
