BF Skinner - in preparation for the BCAB certification exam, please know that the
material is based on the work of _____________
Standard Celeration Chart - only standardized form of data measurement in our science
Dr Ogden Lindsey - coined the term SAFMEDS circa 1980 to refer to the cards and how
to best use them for learning
SAFMEDS - Say All Fast Minute Every Day Shuffle
Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) - - single governing body for professionals
in the field of behavior analysis
- established in 1998 to provide certification to professionals in an effort to establish
minimum criteria to be a reactionary
science - a systematic approach fro seeking and organizing knowledge about the
natural world
Three levels of understanding - description, prediction, control
descriptive - 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 - 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 - - highest level of scientific understanding
- specifically manipulate one event in order to produce a reliable change in another
event

independent variable - The factor that is manipulated; variable whose effect is being
studied
dependent variable - The outcome factor in which we observe change; the variable that
may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable
Functional Relation - 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 - - the "behavior" we wish to change
- the change we see in target bx
independent variable - - the "intervention" we employ
- the stimuli we manipulate
Functional Relation - when we manipulate the independent variable and see a change
in the dependent variable and that change is not likely due to confounding variables
determinism - assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which
phenomena occur as a result of other events
Empiricism - The objective observation of the phenomena of interest
Replication - repeating of experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of the
findings
parsimony - considers the simplest , most logical explanation of a phenomenon before
more complex explanations are considered

3 major branches of behavior analysis - Behaviorism
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Experimental Analysis of Behavior - natural science approach for discovering orderly
and reliable relations between behaviors and various types of environmental variables
of which it functions.
Behaviorism - the science of behavior that focuses on observable behavior only
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - established by Bear, Wolf, and Risley in 1968 with 7
guiding dimentions
Radical Behaviorism - Attempts to study all behavior, including private events, such as
thoughts/feelings, in terms of controlling variables in the history of the person and
species.
methodological behaviorism - A philosophical position that views behavioral events that
cannot be publicly observed as outside the realm of science.
The Behavior of Organisms - - 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 - - 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
