The ratio of the x axis to the y axis should be...? - answer✔2:3
What is correlation? - answer✔A relationship between two variables that can be used to

event

Dr. Pennypacker made an important distinction that we do not control behavior, what we do
control is the ..... - answer✔Environment
True or False: Behavior analysts believe that behavior is intrinsic to the organism -
answer✔False - we believe behavior is extrinsic to the organism
What is prediction in behavior analysis? - answer✔The anticipated outcome of presently known
or future measurement. It is the most elegant use of quantification upon which validation of all
scientific and technological activity rests - Pennypacker
What is experimental control? - answer✔A predictable change in behavior can be reliably
produced by the systematic manipulation of some aspect of the persons environment
What two things make up experimental control? - answer✔Internal validity + external validity
What variable is dependent in behavior analysis? - answer✔Behavior
What variable is independent in behavior analysis? - answer✔The environmental manipulations
What variables do we have to control in order to establish experimental control? -
answer✔Two - independent variables and extraneous variables
What type of experimental design involves manipulating the value of the independent variable?
- answer✔Parametric
What type of experimental design involves manipulating the presentation or removal of the
independent variable? - answer✔Nonparametric
What is verification in behavior analysis? - answer✔Verification of the previously predicted
level of baseline by termination or withdrawal of the independent/treatment variable
What is replication in behavior analysis? - answer✔Reintroducing the treatment variable
What is the definition of a functional relation in behavior analysis? - answer✔A statement that
occurs when a well-controlled experiment demonstrates that a specific change in one event is
reliably produced by specific manipulations of the other event, and that change was unlikely
due to extraneous variables
How does a functional relation differ from experimental control? - answer✔Experimental
control is established when an experiment proves a functional relation between behavior and
some aspect of the environment
Which attitude of science involves: the assumption that the world is a lawful and orderly place -
answer✔Determinism
Verification relates to ____ validity - answer✔Internal
Replication relates to _____ validity - answer✔External
Which attitude of science involves: the objective observation and measurement of the
phenomena of interest - answer✔Empiricism
Which attitude of science involves: controlled comparison of some measure of the phenomena
of interest under two or more different conditions. This is the BASIC STRATEGY OF SCIENCE -
answer✔Experimentation
Which attitude of science involves: continuously questioning the truthfulness of what is
regarded as fact. This is the GUIDING CONSCIENCE of science - answer✔Philosophical doubt
Which attitude of science involves: ruling out all simple, logical explanations to be ruled out -
answer✔Parsimony
Which attitude of science is the requirement for believability? - answer✔Replication
What type of graph would be best to summarize the performance of participants or groups
under different conditions - answer✔Bar graphs
