events and can be studied as such
the guiding assumption of all scientific inquiry that natural phenomena are
the products of interrelated antecedent processes

Control - ANS-in depth understanding of the subject matter which allows the scientist to
predict and manipulate the occurrence or non-occurrence of some event

Mentalism - ANS-the approach that leads us to search inside the organism for
explanations
for behavior
that approach to behavior which uses internal events to explain behavior
and supports a mind-body dualism approach

Deductive - ANS-methods which purport theories a priori and then test them against
empirical evidence

Operant - ANS-behavior for which the causal mode of selection is consequences; often
described as either contingency-shaped or rule-governed.

Phylogeny - ANS-history which selects for inherited behaviors

developing
theories or suggesting possible functional relations or principles

Prediction - ANS-using existing knowledge from observation to suggest that two events
are
related and that there is a high probability that they will co-occur

Ontogeny - ANS-history which selects for behaviors learned over the organism's lifetime

Respondent - ANS-the kind of behavior that is correlated with specific eliciting stimuli

rule-governed behavior - ANS-occurs when an individual is behavior in accordance with
explicit rules,
advice, or instructions

Dualism - ANS-the position that there are multiple worlds apart from the physical world
the philosophical approach that says that neither mind nor matter can be
reduced in any other way, that they are irrevocably distinct

locus of control - ANS-the location of those influential and initiating causes of behavior

description - ANS-collecting, quantifying and organizing knowledge about some
observed
events to allow for classification and comparison to other knowledge

empiricism - ANS-the attitude of science which states that scientific subject matter
should be
observed using objective methods

selectionism - ANS-an approach to human behavior which asserts that behavioral
phenomena are the result of simple processes occurring over time
