EDF 6225 Final Exam With Complete
Solutions Latest Update
BF Skinner - ANSWER studying to take the BCAB certification exam, be aware that the
information is from the work of _____________
Standard Celeration Chart - ANSWER only standardized form of measurement of data in
our science
Dr Ogden Lindsey - ANSWER coined the term SAFMEDS circa 1980 to refer to the cards
and how to best use them for learning
SAFMEDS - ANSWER Say All Fast Minute Every Day Shuffle
Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) - ANSWER - 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 - ANSWER a systematic approach fro seeking and organizing knowledge about
the natural world
Three levels of understanding - ANSWER description, prediction, control
descriptive - ANSWER 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 - ANSWER 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 - ANSWER - highest level of scientific understanding
- specifically manipulate one event in order to produce a reliable change in another
event
independent variable - ANSWER The factor that is manipulated; variable whose effect is
being studied
dependent variable - ANSWER The outcome factor in which we observe change; the
variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable
Functional Relation - ANSWER 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 i.e. confounding variables
dependent variable - ANSWER the "behavior" we wish to change
- the change we see in target bx
independent variable - ANSWER the "intervention" we employ
- the stimuli we manipulate
Functional Relation - ANSWER 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 - ANSWER assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in
which phenomena occur as a result of other events
Empiricism - ANSWER The objective observation of the phenomena of interest
Replication - ANSWER repeating experiments in order to establish the validity and
applicability of results
,parsimony - ANSWER theory is based on the least complicated, most logical explanation
of an event before complicated ones are taken into account
3 major branches of behavior analysis - ANSWER Behaviorism
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Experimental Analysis of Behavior - ANSWER natural science approach for discovering
orderly and reliable relations between behaviors and various types of environmental
variables of which it functions.
Behaviorism - ANSWER the science of behavior that focuses on observable behavior
only
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - ANSWER established by Bear, Wolf, and Risley in
1968 with 7 guiding dimentions
Operant Behavior Modifying operates on behavior to make it either more or less likely to
occur by controlling its consequences.
Radical Behaviorism - ANSWER 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 - ANSWER A philosophical position that views behavioral
events that cannot be publicly observed as outside the realm of science.
The Behavior of Organisms - ANSWER - skinner describes some of his most important
research in ____
-describes experiments that demonstrated orderly and reliable relationships between
behaviour and the environment
, Applied dimension of ABA - ANSWER - Improving the socially significant behaviours of
people's lives
- Bear et al 1968: applied research is constrained to examining behaviours which are
socially important-socially significant-rather than convenient for study
Behavioral dimension of ABA - ANSWER behaviours that are observable and
measurable
analytic dimension of ABA - ANSWER defines how we arrive to our decision as to
whether or not behavior change occurred as we predicted
technological dimension of ABA - ANSWER Defines procedures clearly and in detail so
they are replicable
Conceptually Systematic Dimension of ABA - ANSWER rely on behavioral procedures
derived from the research, not just random attempts to change behavior
EffectiveDimension of ABA ANSWER- tells us that the behavior we chose was
objectively measured and that it demonstrated a reliable change
GeneralityDimension of ABA ANSWER- the golden standard of ABA procedures
-when an intervention changes behavior not only in one setting with one person, but
continues across settings/people
positive reinforcement- ANSWER when a stimulus is added and future frequencies of
behavior maintain or increase
positive punishment - ANSWER when stimulus is added and future frequencies of
behavior decrease
