Description
Prediction
Control
Description - Answer Systematic observations that can be quantified & classified
Prediction - Answer AKA: correlation; covariation
2 events may regularly occur at the same time. This does not mean one causes the
other
Control - Answer AKA: causation
Functional relation.
The highest level of scientific understanding.
Experimental demonstration that manipulating one event (IV) results in another event
(DV).
When new stimuli acquire the ability to elicit respondents.
Operant Behavior - Answer AKA: S-R-S, 3 term contingency, ABC
Emit/evoke
Bx whose probability is determined by its history of consequences.
Voluntary action.
Operants defined in terms of their relationship to controlling variables.
FUNCTION.
Encompasses both reinforcement & punishment.
Adaptation
Adaptation - Answer Reductions in responding by repeated or prolonged presentation to
antecedent stimulus.
Ontogentic - Answer Learning that results from interactions with environment
, The occasion for a response (SD), the response, & the outcome.
The dependency of a particular consequence on the occurrence of the bx.
Reinforcer or punisher is "contingent" on a bx
3-term contingency
ABC - Answer What is the primary analysis in ABA?
Contiguity - Answer When 2 stimuli occur close together in time, resulting in an
association of those 2 stimuli.
3 Principles of Bx - Answer PER
Punishment
Extinction
Reinforcement
All strategies are derived from these 3 principles.
applied - Answer ABA is a(n) _______ science.
ABA - Answer A scientific approach for discovering environmental variables that reliably
influence socially significant bx & for developing a technology of bx change that is
practical & applicable
Science - Answer To achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under study
(socially significant bxs)
Response - Answer A single instance of bx.
Behavior - Answer Larger set/class or responses that share physical dimensions or
functions.
Response Class - Answer A group of bxs that comprise an operant.
Operant: Response-consequence relationship. Similar bxs that are strengthened or
weakened collectively as a result of operant conditioning.
Yes.
Can widely vary in form but are limited in topographical variations. - Answer Can
responses in the same response class look different?
Repertoire - Answer 1. All bxs that an individual can do.
2. A collection of knowledge & skills an individual has learned that are relevant to a
particular task.
