BACB 5th edition task list
goals of behavior analysis - Answer- description, prediction, and control
description - Answer- facts regarding observable events that can be analyzed and compared with other facts
prediction - Answer- anticipating the outcome of a future event
control - Answer- highest level of scientific understanding - functional relations are derived from control
philosophical assumptions - Answer- selectionism, empiricism, determinism, parsimony,
pragmatism, experimentation, replication, and philosophical doubt
selectionism - Answer- the process by which behaviors are "selected" to continue or stop based on an individual's experiences
types of selectionism - Answer- phylogenic, ontogenic, and cultural
phylogenic - Answer- process by which behaviors that help ensure the survival of the species or group are maintained by contingencies
ontogenic - Answer- process by which behaviors that help ensure the survival of an individual are maintained by contingencies
cultural - Answer- involves the transferring of behaviors among members of a group (usually imitation or modeling)
empiricism - Answer- the study of a phenomena based on objective observations and data-based decisions
determinism - Answer- the assumption that the universe is lawful and orderly - things do
not happen out of nowhere
parsimony - Answer- all simple and logical explanations must be ruled out before exploring more complex explanations pragmatism - Answer- enables professional practice improvements through the analysis
of outcomes and social values
experimentation - Answer- the manipulation of different variables (IV) on specific responses (DV) to demonstrate a functional relation
replication - Answer- repeatability of experiment to determine true reliability of its outcomes
philosophical doubt - Answer- continuously questions what is regarded as truth or fact
radical behaviorism (skinner) - Answer- type of behaviorism that seeks to understand behavior is all its forms, including private events
behaviorism - Answer- the philosophy of the science of behavior analysis
experimental analysis of behavior (EAB) - Answer- branch of behavior analysis that involves laboratory research and experiments
applied behavior analysis - Answer- using the principles of behavior analysis to change socially significant behaviors
professional practice guided by the science of behavior analysis - Answer- involves the delivery of behavior-analytic services to clients
distinguish among behaviorism, EAB, ABA, and professional practice guided by the science of behavior analysis - Answer- dimensions of applied behavior analysis - Answer- generality, effective, technological, applied, conceptually systematic, analytic, and behavioral
generality - Answer- any behavior that is targeted for change or a skill that is intended to
be taught must be able to be used and maintained through interactions with different environments and people
effective - Answer- interventions that are used must have a positive effect on the client
technological - Answer- interventions and programming are clearly written with enough detail that anyone would be able to replicate it
applied - Answer- the implementation of interventions that are derived from ABA in society, ensures that behaviors that are targeted are socially significant to the appropriate stakeholders
conceptually systematic - Answer- the intervention that is used is based on research while also being consistent with the principles of ABA
