Answer 2

The universe is lawful and orderly

Question 3

Answer 3

Objective Observation and Measurement

Question 4

Experimentation

Answer 4

Controlled comparison and functional analysis

Question 5

Replication

Answer 5

Repeat Experiments and demonstrated reliability

Question 6

Parsimony

Answer 6

Simple and logical explanations must be ruled out before complex and abstract explanations

Question 7

Philosophical Doubt

Answer 7

Continuously question

Question 8

Levels of Scientific Understaning

Answer 8

Description
Prediction
Control

Question 9

Description

Answer 9

Collection of facts about observed events

Question 10

Prediction

Answer 10

Repeat observations show that 2 events covary (correlation)

Question 11

Control

Answer 11

Functional Relationship (cause and effect)
Change in one event reliably produced by manipulation of another variable without likely extraneous factors

Question 12

Dimensions/Characteristics of ABA

Answer 12

Behavioural
Applied
Technological
Conceptually Systematic
Analytic
Generality
Effective

Question 13

Behavioural

Answer 13

Interested in what people do, not what they say

Question 14

Applied

Answer 14

Determined by the interest society shows in the problem being studied

Question 15

Technological

Answer 15

Techniques are completely identified and described
Importance of replication

Question 16

Conceptually Systematic

Answer 16

Behavioural procedures are tied to principles
Procedures are understood in terms of the behavioural mechanisms responsible for their effects

Question 17

Analytic

Answer 17

A believable demonstration of events responsible for occurrence/non-occurrence of behaviour
Experimenter has achieved analysis of behaviour when they can exercise control over it

Question 18

Generality

Answer 18

Proves durable over time
Appears in wide variety of possible environments
Spreads to wide variety of related behaviours

Question 19

Effective

Answer 19

Large enough effects for practical value (enough to be socially important)

Question 20

4 Domains of Behaviour Analysis

Answer 20

Behaviourism -> Conceptual
EAB (experimental analysis of behaviour -> Basic Research
ABA (applied analysis of behaviour) -> Applied Research
Transitional (bridges EAB and ABA)
Practice (Science-Practitioner Model)

Question 21

Baer Wolfe and Risley

Answer 21

-Defined characteristics of ABA
-Set standards for future research and practice
-Identified early SSEDs (single subject/case experimental designs)
-Emphasized social significance

Question 22

Edward Thorndike

Answer 22

Law of Effect
- behaviour changes as result of consequences
-cat in a cage
Future events are consequential; not antecedent

Question 23

John Watson

Answer 23

“Father” of Behaviourism
Little Albert
- respondent conditioning
Believed in environment over genetics
S-R relations (antecedent)

Question 24

Ivan Pavlov

Answer 24

Conditioned Reflex (respondent conditioning)
Dog salivation
Started with metronome, then switched to bell

Question 25

B.F Skinner

Answer 25

Operating Conditioning - most behaviour is operant Behaviour is controlled by controlling the environment Causes of behaviour lead to less emphasis on internal environment (free will) Not knowing cause -> no justification for making it up (circular reasoning) Worked with pigeons, not rats Distinguished between operant and classical conditioning S-R-S paradigm Founder of radical behaviourism Wrote book -> behaviour of organism

Question 26

Marian Breland Bailey

Answer 26

Bridging stimulus -> clicker Student of B.F Skinner -> 2nd doctoral student Interested in animal behaviour/ethics First to make behaviour analysis commercially available Clicker marked the needed behaviour at the exact moment it's displayed -> lets the animal know it's being trained genetic predispositions can interfere with learned behaviours

Question 27

Betty Hart

Answer 27

30-million word gap How much a parent spoke to their child mattered in their language development early on

Question 28

Dimensions of Behaviour That Are Measured

Answer 28

Duration Intensity Latency Frequency

Question 29

Other Characteristics of ABA

Answer 29

Accountable Public Empowering Doable Optimistic
