Functional Relationship - Answer the results of an experiment that describe the
occurrence of the phenomena under study as a function of the operation of one or more
specified and controlled variables in the experiment in which specific change in one
event, dependent variable can be produced by manipulating another event, the
independent variable, and that the change in the dependent variable was unlikely the
result of other factors, confounding variable.
Functional Relationship - Answer It shows that particular manipulations of one event,
the IV produces a change in other events, the DV and that change in the DV was unlikely
the result of extraneous factors, confounding variables- this finding is the.
Independent Variable IV-Answer The variable that the researcher systematically
manipulates in an experiment to determine whether changes in the independent
variable produce reliable changes in the dependent variable. In applied behavior
analysis, it is typically an environmental event or condition that occurs before or after
the dependent variable. (sometimes called the intervention or treatment variable)
Dependent Variable (DV)-Answer The behavior measured in an experiment to see if it
changes due to manipulations of the independent variable; in applied behavior analysis
it is some measure of a socially significant behavior. (Target behavior)
antecedent-Answer is the environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or
occur prior to the behavior of interest.
Behavior -Answer An organisms interaction with the environment.
Consequence - Anything immediately following a behavior in which we are interested.
, Stimulus Class - The response A class of stimuli that are similar along one or more
dimensions. That is, they are similar in appearance or sound, they all have the same
function relating to the behavior, or they occur consistently at certain times in relation
to the response.
Stimulus Class - Answer You present a student with a banana, kiwi, strawberry and
plum. You ask the student, "What are these?" The student responds, "Fruit", although
they are all different fruits.
Response Class - Answer is a group of responses that produce the same effect on the
environment. (in other words several behaviors that have the same function.)
Class - Answer A client exhibits head banging, screaming, and hitting staff all of which
serves the same function on the environment; client can get out of their least favorite
therapies.
The 4 Reinforcer Dimensions - Answer Rate of reinforcement, Quality of reinforcement,
Reinforcer Delay, and Response effort.
Rate of reinforcement - Answer is the number of reinforcements per time
Reinforcement quality- answer how good is that reinforcer compared to other similar
reinforcers
Reinforcer Delay - Response is whether access to the reinforcers earned was
immediate or delayed.
Response Effort- The amount of effort a person must exert to be able to successfully
perform a particular behavior can have a direct influence on the frequency that the
person will exhibit the behavior.
Hernstein's Matching Law-Answer simply states that we (animals including humans)
perform behaviors in a ratio that matches the ratio of available reinforcement for those
