knowledge about the natural world
Three levels of understanding - CORRECT ANSWER description, prediction,
control
,descriptive - CORRECT ANSWER studies that produce a collection of facts about
the observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible
relations with other known facts
correlation - CORRECT ANSWER when a systematic co-variation occurs between
two events, we are able to predict the probability that one event will occur in
conjunction with the other event
control - CORRECT ANSWER - highest level of scientific understanding
- specifically manipulate one event in order to produce a reliable change in another
event
independent variable - CORRECT ANSWER The factor that is manipulated; variable
whose effect is being studied
dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER The outcome factor in which we observe
change; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the
independent variable
Functional Relation - CORRECT ANSWER when one event is specifically
manipulated in order to produce a reliable change in another event, and the change
in the dependent variable in not likely due to other extraneous factors (confounding
variables)
dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER - the "behavior" we wish to change
- the change we see in target bx
independent variable - CORRECT ANSWER - the "intervention" we employ
,- the stimuli we manipulate
Functional Relation - CORRECT ANSWER when we manipulate the independent
variable and see a change in the dependent variable and that change is not likely
due to confounding variables

methodological behaviorism - CORRECT ANSWER A philosophical position that
views behavioral events that cannot be publicly observed as outside the realm of
science.
The Behavior of Organisms - CORRECT ANSWER - skinner describes some of his
most important research in ____
- describes experiments that demonstrated orderly and reliable relationships
between behavior and the environment
Applied dimension of ABA - CORRECT ANSWER - Improving the socially
significant behaviors of people's lives
- Bear et al (1968) : applied research is constrained to examining behaviors which
are socially important (socially significant) rather than convenient for study
Behavioral dimension of ABA - CORRECT ANSWER behaviors that are observable
and measurable
Analytic dimension of ABA - CORRECT ANSWER defines how we arrive to our
decision as to whether or not behavior change occurred as we predicted
