Behv 5610 FinalWhich of the following contribute to the information
discovered by the field of applied behavior analysis? - ANS-Agreed upon perspectives
of behavior and research methods
The approach to research used in behavior
analysis is most similar to which of the following: - ANS-Natural sciences
Determinism - ANS-the assumption that behavior is lawfully determined by physical
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
Lawfulness - ANS-adherence to the assumption of determinism which suggests that all
behavior is orderly
Confoudning variable - ANS-a variable that cannot be eliminated as affecting the
dependent variable
because it was not controlled for
Validity - ANS-the extent to which some claim is truthful or scientifically supported
, Epistemology - ANS-approach to scientific study and theory
Materialism - ANS-the belief that the world is made up of only physical things and
events of a
variety of relations and states
Inductive - ANS-scientific methods which work to obtain objective data prior to
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
