Determinism: - ANSWER behavior is caused by some event and the universe if lawful
and orderly.
Empiricism: - ANSWER Information is collected by objective observations; all scientific
knowledge is based on this
Philosophic Doubt: - ANSWER The conclusions of science are tentative and subject to
revision when new data and discoveries are made; scientists consider what is known as
"fact" is subject to question
Law of Parsimony: - ANSWER When possible, the most parsimonious explanation of
behavior should be offered, other things held equal
Scientific manipulation: - ANSWER To determine whether an event has an effect on
behavior, the event is systematically manipulated and its effects on behavior are
recorded
What is behavior?: - ANSWER anything an organism does, either public or private, overt
or covert
What is a response: - ANSWER a single instance of behavior
Positive vs. Negative in Behavior Analysis - ANSWER Positive: refers to the addition or
,increase of a stimulus
Negative: refers to the removal or reduction of a stimulus
Phylogenetic behavior: - ANSWER based on the species history of learning
(evolutionary)
The reflex is one example of phylogenetic behavior
Ontogenetic behavior: - ANSWER the behavior of an organism is influenced by its own
environmental experiences.
**Ontogenetic behavior can involve respondent conditioning**

Habituation: - ANSWER If the US repeatedly elicits an UR, the repeated presentation of

, Learned Helplessness
Aggression
Operant aggression
Behavioral Persistence: - ANSWER The person who is DELIVERING the punishment's
behavior is being reinforced which may lead to an INCREASE in the use of punishment
and a DECREASE in the use of reinforcement.
Learned Helplessness: - ANSWER occurs when an organism is exposed to an aversive
stimulus and is unable to escape. After several pairings of this condition the organism
gives up and stops attempting to escape
Aggression: - ANSWER occurs when painful stimuli are presented to 2 organisms and
the organisms attack each other. Fighting generated by these contingencies is called
reflexive aggression because the attack follows the presentation of aversive events.
Operant Aggression: - ANSWER When the behavior of one individual is punished by
another, the punished individual may attack in return.
How to Make Punishment More Effective - ANSWER Manner of introduction: should be
sudden
Intensity of punishment: the higher the intensity the higher the suppression of response
Immediacy of punishment: punishment should be delivered soon after the behavior
Schedule of punishment: punishment continuously available, CRF/FR1, is most effective
