EDF6225 finalBF Skinner - ANS-in preparation for the BCAB certification exam, please know that the
material is based on the work of _____________
Standard Celeration Chart - ANS-only standardized form of data measurement in our
science
Dr Ogden Lindsey - ANS-coined the term SAFMEDS circa 1980 to refer to the cards
and how to best use them for learning
SAFMEDS - ANS-Say All Fast Minute Every Day Shuffle
Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) - ANS-- 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 - ANS-a systematic approach fro seeking and organizing knowledge about the
natural world
Three levels of understanding - ANS-description, prediction, control
descriptive - ANS-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 - ANS-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 - ANS-- highest level of scientific understanding
- specifically manipulate one event in order to produce a reliable change in another
event
,independent variable - ANS-The factor that is manipulated; variable whose effect is
being studied
dependent variable - ANS-The outcome factor in which we observe change; the variable
that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable
Functional Relation - ANS-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 - ANS-- the "behavior" we wish to change
- the change we see in target bx
independent variable - ANS-- the "intervention" we employ
- the stimuli we manipulate
Functional Relation - ANS-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 - ANS-assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which
phenomena occur as a result of other events
Empiricism - ANS-The objective observation of the phenomena of interest
Replication - ANS-repeating of experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness
of the findings
parsimony - ANS-considers the simplest , most logical explanation of a phenomenon
before more complex explanations are considered
3 major branches of behavior analysis - ANS-Behaviorism
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Experimental Analysis of Behavior - ANS-natural science approach for discovering
orderly and reliable relations between behaviors and various types of environmental
variables of which it functions.
Behaviorism - ANS-the science of behavior that focuses on observable behavior only
,Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - ANS-established by Bear, Wolf, and Risley in 1968
with 7 guiding dimentions
Radical Behaviorism - ANS-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 - ANS-A philosophical position that views behavioral events
that cannot be publicly observed as outside the realm of science.
The Behavior of Organisms - ANS-- 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 - ANS-- 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 - ANS-behaviors that are observable and measurable
Analytic dimension of ABA - ANS-defines how we arrive to our decision as to whether or
not behavior change occurred as we predicted
technological dimension of ABA - ANS-Defines procedures clearly and in detail so they
are replicable
Conceptually Systematic Dimension of ABA - ANS-rely on behavioral procedures
derived from the research, not just random attempts to change behavior
Effective (Dimension of ABA) - ANS-shows that the behavior we selected was
objectively measures and it demonstrated a reliable change
Generality (Dimension of ABA) - ANS-- golden standard of ABA procedures
, - when an intervention not only changes behavior in one setting with on person, but
maintains across other settings/people
positive reinforcement - ANS-when a stimulus is added and future frequencies of
behavior maintain or increase
positive punishment - ANS-when stimulus is added and future frequencies of behavior
decrease
negative reinforcement - ANS-when stimulus is removed and future frequencies of
behavior maintain or increase
negative punishment - ANS-when stimulus is removed and future frequencies of
behavior decrease
Reinforcement Theory - ANS-a functional theory
functional theories - ANS-means all of its components are defined by their function (how
they work)
structural theories - ANS-means all of its components are defined by their structure
(how they look)
positive reinforcement - ANS-- a functional relation defined by a two-term contingency
- first, a response is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus
- then, as a result, a similar response occurs more frequently in the future
reinforcer - ANS-any stimulus change or event that functions to increase the likelihood
of the behavior that led to it
delay of reinforcement - ANS-diminishes the intended effects of a stimulus because it
allows for another, unintended stimulus to happen prior to the intended stimulus
Reinforcement - ANS-changes the function of antecedent stimulus
discriminative stimulus (Sd) - ANS-- a stimulus that elicits a response after association
with reinforcement
