Content: no learning required. Operant behavior or learn behavior
Frequency is determined primarily by its history of consequences, and it's also deleted, shaped, and maintained by the consequences that have followed it in the past. Operant conditioning (learned behavior)
Refers to the process and selective effects of the consequences on behavior. Time-out and response cost are basic principles of behaviors every applied behavior analyst should know
Trueee
Consequences select response classes, not individual responses. Trueee
Extinction is defined as removing a preferred item contingent upon inappropriate behavior
False
Systematic observation
Enhanced the understanding of natural phenomena by enabling scientists to describe behavior accurately
Science enables understanding at these 3 levels ::: Description, prediction and control
The highest level of scientific understanding is
Experimental control
An experiment has a high degree of ---- ----- when it shows convincingly that changes in behavior are a function of the independent variable and not the result of unknown variables
Internal validity
An applied analysis of behavior requires that the target behavior be a ------- of an environmental event that can be practically and ethically manipulated
Function
A student's changing level of interest and background knowledge in algebra, during a study on the effects of response card quiz reviews on Next day quiz performance is a potential ------ -------- to the investigation and should be monitored. Confounding variables
A science of behavior contributes to a useful technology of behavior change to the extent that it discovers functional relations with ----- across individuals
Generality
A well designed and planned scientific investigation begins with a
Experimental question
----- ------ are demonstrated when observed variations in behavior can be attributed to manipulation of the independent variable
Functional relations
Unplanned environmental variations which may impact the experimenters demonstration of experimental control are called -------
Extraneous variables
Experimental design
refers to the arrangement of conditions in a study so that meaningful comparisons of the effects of the independent variable can be made
Parametric
A study type that seeks to discover the the differential effects of a range of values on the independent variable on the dependent variable of interest
A single- study research designs always involve only a single participant
False (can involve more)
Baseline data collection is important because it results in a certain level of needed subjectivity
False ( should be objectivity)
All experiments in ABA include at least one behavior and at least one treatment or intervention condition
True
Within- subject design and intra- subject design are alternative terms used to describe single-subject experimental design
True
Nothing is gained by collecting unduly long baselines of behavior that cannot reasonably be expected to be in a subject's repertoire
True
Measurement is ------ when it yields the same values across repeated measurement of the same event
Realiable
Measurement ------- are date that give an unwarranted or misleading picture of th
