his science and philosophy of human behavior. There are occasions
where we may spend time on items that are no longer specifically
required for the exam, but we feel are required to be an excellent
behavior scientist. - answer B.F. Skinner
The ________ is the only standardized form of data measurement in

specifically your daily study of ABA terminology. - answer Standard
Celeration Chart (SCC)
The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) is the single
governing body for professionals in the field of _______. The BACB
was established in 1998 to provide certification to professionals in
an effort to establish minimum criteria to be a reactionary in the
field. - answer Applied Behavior Analysis
The standard celeration chart is the only standardized form of data
______ in our science. - answer measurement
The word _______ refers to a systematic approach for seeking and
organizing knowledge about the natural world. - answer systematic
approach
Scientific investigations can yield information regarding the three
levels of understanding, which are _____ ,_______ , and _______. -
answer description, prediction, control.
,What is the purpose for this systematic approach? - answer -To
achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under study.
-To seek to discover the real truths.
--so no bias by groups or organizations
--or by the scientists themselves.
_______ studies produce a collection of facts about the observed
events that can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible
relations with other known facts.
(Can also suggest hypothesis, questions, or additional research
ideas.) - answer Description
The highest level of scientific understanding is ________ . In this
regard, we specifically manipulate one event (the independent
variable) in order to produce a reliable change in another event (the
dependent variable), and the change in the dependent variable is
not likely due to other extraneous factors (known as confounding
variables). This relationship is referred to as a _______. - answer
Control; functional relationship
The _________ is the event in which we observe change. - answer
dependent variable
What is a functional relationship? - answer It exists when a well-
controlled experiment demonstrates that a specific change in one
event (the dependent variable) is reliably produced by specific
manipulations of another event (the independent variable), and that
the change in the dependent variable was unlikely to be the result
of other extraneous factors (confounding variables).
The _______ is the event in which we manipulate. - answer
independent variable
, The "behavior" we wish to change in behavior analysis is known as
the _________. (2) - answer dependent variable (2)
The "intervention" we employ in behavior analysis is known as the
________. (2) - answer independent variable (2)
When we apply an intervention, we are manipulating the _______ .
The change we see in the target behavior is known as the ________. -
answer independent variable; dependent variable
A _______ is demonstrated when we ________ the independent variable
and see a ____ in the dependent variable and that change is not
likely due to______. - answer functional relationship; manipulate;
change; extraneous variables
______ is the assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly
place in which phenomena occur as a result of other events. _______
is the objective observation of the phenomena of interest. _______ is
the repeating of experiments to determine the reliability and
usefulness of the findings. - answer Determinism; Empiricism;
Replication
What is Determinism? - answer -The idea that scientists follow that
the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena
occur as the result of other events.
-Events do not occur at will.
-Events are related in systematic ways.
What is Accidentalism? - answer The idea that events occur by
accident or without cause.
What is Fatalism? - answer the belief that all events are
predetermined and therefore inevitable. The scientific discovery of
