FOUNDATIONAL TERMINOLOGY ABA TESTApplied - Answer Scientists and practitioners must choose behaviours for
change that are socially significant.
Behaviour - Answer Requires observable and measurable behaviours.
Analytic - ANSWER. Experimenters must have employed single-subject study
designs to demonstrate a functional relationship or a credible demonstration of
the efficacy of an intervention.
Technical - Answer Requires a detailed and precise description of processes
employed in interventions.
Effective - ANSWER Improvement in behaviour must be socially important and
based on a visual analysis of evidence.
Generativity - Answer Requires that behaviours persist over time and appear in
situations other than those of training.
Conceptual - Answer Interventions must be founded on behavioural principles
and have empirical data supporting their efficacy.
ANSWER: Reinforcement and punishment.
Applied Behaviour Analysis: ANSWER This is the science in which
behavioural principles are utilised to improve socially significant behaviours,
and experimental analysis is used to establish which variables are responsible
for change.
Radical Behaviourism - ANSWER Skinner's "far reaching" and
"thoroughgoing" type of behaviourism encompasses both public and private
behaviours.
, Methodological Behaviourism: ANSWER Refers to a philosophical position in
which non-observable behavioural events are not behaviours.
Experimental Analysis of Behaviour (EAB) - Answer Skinner founded this
natural science, which focusses on investigating operant behaviour as a subject
matter, employing single subject experimental designs rather than group designs
to quantify behaviour as a dependent variable.
Anthropomorphism entails attaching human characteristics or capacities to other
creatures or devices.
Behaviour Analysis - ANSWER The usual designation for the study of
behaviour
Caloric - Answer The substance that was thought to make a thing hot during the
Middle Ages (non-behaviour al explanatory fiction)
Comparative psychology - ANSWER The field of psychology devoted to
comparing behaviour across species, initially influenced by evolutionary theory.
Continuity of species - answer According to evolutionary theory, species
resemble one another based on how closely linked they are in evolution.
Humans train at least rudimentarily in closely related animals, but less so in
distant ones.
Determinism is the concept that the cosmos is a lawful and orderly place in
which experiences occur in connection to other happenings, rather than in an
accidental fashion.
Folk psychology - Answer Theory that relates behaviour to a fictional inner self
that cannot be observed scientifically (as distinct from the outside world). It
establishes a dualism with the science of behaviour.
Introspect - Answer Look within themselves.
Just-noticeable difference - the smallest change in a stimuli that causes a
behaviour change. Psychologists in the nineteenth century used the JND as a
unit of sensation.
