Behv 5622 (module 1)The main difference between basic and applied research primarily lies in the focus of
the: - ANS-Question
What is the difference between the primary focus of researchers and practitioners? -
ANS-Researchers try to discover relations between environment and behavior.
Practitioners focus on improving lives.
Which outcome is likely a major reinforcer for researchers? - ANS-obtaining a clear
picture of the effects of the independent variable on behavior
Behavior analysts view endeavors of scientists and practitioners as - ANS-Behavior
Talking about investigator behavior in the same way that we approach any other
behavior of interest is useful because it can help us: - ANS-identify antecedents and
consequences that have influenced investigator behaviors and methodological
decision-making
Conducting a study to answer a question requires the researcher to control the
________ or the factors whose effects are of clinical or research interest. -
ANS-Independent variable
In behavior analysis research and practice, the target behavior is also called the
________ which is measured for any effects of the independent variable. -
ANS-Dependent Variable
What may be described as a set of loose rules and traditions that have evolved over
many years of experimental practice? - ANS-the scientific method
All studies require a unique series of decisions made by investigators, and
consequences of those decisions should: - ANS-lead to a clear picture of effects of
certain conditions on target behaviors
All choices made by investigators have an effect on: - ANS--what results of the
investigation show
-conclusions that can be made based on the results
-future choices the same investigators will make
,For practitioners, carefully tracking changes in target behaviors of clients is essential
for: - ANS-making informed treatment decisions
To assist with making sound choices, both researchers and practitioners should exhibit
competence in - ANS-research methods
Practitioners and researchers both share the same interest in: - ANS-utilizing behavioral
methods for studying or changing behavior
Basic and applied behavior analysis research has been guided by many of the same
fundamental methodological principles of other: - ANS-natural sciences
In both research and clinical practice, methodological features of investigations can
influence findings and affect future ________ about ways to approach the study of
behavior. - ANS-decisions
Most applied behavior analysts are not researchers, but work to: - ANS-change
individual's behaviors in socially significant ways
The approach to behavioral measurement and evaluation for both researchers and
practitioners are fundamentally: - ANS-the same
what is the subject matter for all behavior analysts? - ANS-behavior
Behavior analysis is based on the conceptual foundation of - ANS-radical behaviorism
While it is important to focus on behavior as a subject matter, it is also important to
acknowledge that behavior is fundamentally a: - ANS-biological phenomenon
According to the intra-organism nature of behavior, the term "group behavior" is
misleading because: - ANS-A group is not a biological organism and therefore cannot
behave.
When defining behavior we should have a clear understanding about the nature and
limits of behavior (what it is and what it isn't) because: - ANS-Our colloquial history is
embedded with mentalism.
Interactions between organism and environment that produces a change in behavior is
called a: - ANS-functional relationship
, what refers to the full set of physical circumstances in which any behavior occurs? -
ANS-environment
A behavior exists only when there is a(n) ____________________ condition between
an organism and its surroundings. - ANS-interactive
Why is "waiting for a text message" not a behavior? - ANS-It does not involve an
interactive condition between the organism and the environment.
A definition of behavior is itself is: - ANS-verbal behavior
What does "behavior as interface" mean? - ANS-there must be functional relations
between the behavior of a living organism and the environment
A good definition of behavior will deny behavior status to events that: - ANS-do not
involve an interaction between organism and environment
Other approaches to studying and explaining behavior (not behavior analytic) tend to be
based on: - ANS-hypothesized inner processes
What is the primary importance of the definition of behavior? - ANS-how it guides the
work of researchers and practitioners
What we know about behavior suggests that practitioners and researchers should: -
ANS--measure a target behavior a number of times under each experimental or
treatment phase
-compare data across baseline and treatment conditions
-analyze behavior at the level of the individual organism
What is the "bottom line" for researchers in behavior analysis? - ANS-to reveal relations
between behavior and environment
The value of a behavior definition lies in the extent to which it helps
___________________ the work of researchers and practitioners. - ANS-guide
Applied behavior analytic research appears to be simple, but actually takes extensive
efforts to accomplish. What are some of the steps applied researchers have to take that
are rarely mentioned in publications? - ANS--locate an environment in which to conduct
their research
-come up with an original idea
