ABA Cooper Chapter 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 Bundled Exam (Graded A)

Artifact - ANSWER-an outcome or result that appears to exist because of the way it is measured but in fact does not correspond to what actually occurred Celeration - ANSWER-the change (acceleration or deceleration) in rate of responding over time; based on count per unit of time (rate); expressed...

multiple baseline design - ANSWER-responses are identified and measured over time to provide baseline; experimenter applies an experimental variable to one behavior, produces a change in, notes little or no change in the other baselines; experimenter applies the experimental variable to one of the o...

Benefits of graphs: 1- Treatment decisions can be made quickly, with ongoing and immediate graphing. 2- They are easy to understand. 3- They help in interpreting the results of a study or treatment. 4- environmental changes can be detected on the graph 5- They are conservative. 6- th...

applied behavior analysis - ANSWER-the application of the science of learning to socially significant human behavior behaviorism - ANSWER-the philosophy of the science of behavior determinism - ANSWER-a philosophical aspect of ABA that holds that behavior follows general rules and laws and doe...

dimensions of measurement of behavior - ANSWER-repeatability, temporal extent, temporal locus repeatability - ANSWER-instances of a response class can occur repeatedly through time (behavior can be counted-count and rate) temporal extent - ANSWER-every instance of behavior occurs during some a...

Antecedent - ANSWER-an environmental condition or stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a behavior of interest Automaticity of reinforcement - ANSWER-refers to the fact that behavior is modified by its consequences irrespective of the person's awareness; a person does not have to recogn...

Describe the 3 indicators of "trustworthy" measurement. - ANSWER-Validity: the event to which data obtained from measurement are directly relevant to the target behavior of interest and to the reason(s) for measuring it. • Valid measurement requires direct measurement of a behavior (not indirec...

A-B design - ANSWER-Baseline condition (A) and treatment condition (B). Does not show experimental control. Affirmation of the consequent - ANSWER-An inductive logic that uses steady state responding to support the hypothesis that the introduction of the IV was responsible for the change in the D...

A-B-A design (reversal design) - ANSWER-A 3-phase experimental design consisting of an initial baseline phase until steady state responding (or countertherapeutic trend) is obtained, an intervention phase, and a return to baseline conditions by withdrawing the independent variable to see whether res...
