1. empiricism - ACCURATE ANSWER-Def: the view that knowledge originates in experience and that science should, therefore, rely on observation and experimentation. Personal: science is all about what we see and how we test it. Ex: studying rats for behavior dashed on their senses 2. structuralism - ACCURATE ANSWER-Def: an early school of psychology that used introspection to explore the structural elements of the human mind Personal: the describing of how the objects (human or other...

Total Duration Per Session - ACCURATE ANSWER-Cumulative amount of time a person engages in the behavior during a session Duration Per Occurrence - ACCURATE ANSWER-Duration of time each instance of the target behavior occurs. Frequency - ACCURATE ANSWER-Tallying the number of times the behavior occurs. Interresponse Time - ACCURATE ANSWER-Elapsed time between two successive responses. Momentary Time Sampling - ACCURATE ANSWER-Score whether behavior occurs at the end of each interval. ...

Definitional Measures - ACCURATE ANSWER-Topography and Magnitude Derivative Measures - ACCURATE ANSWER-Percentage and Trials to Criterion External Validity - ACCURATE ANSWER-Degree to which a study's results are generalizable to other subjects, settings and behaviors. Replication ESTABLISHES external validity. Confounding Threats to Internal Validity - ACCURATE ANSWER- Phases of Intervention - ACCURATE ANSWER-Assessment, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation 7 Strategies to Promot...

relational frame - ACCURATE ANSWER-A generalized pattern of relational responding that is arbitrarily applicable and has the properties of mutual entailment, combinatorial entailment, and transformation of stimulus function unconditioned motivating operation - ACCURATE ANSWER-A motivating operation whose value-altering effect does not depend on a learning history. mand - ACCURATE ANSWER-A verbal response in which the form of the response is controlled by an establishing operation intrav...

Behavioral - ACCURATE ANSWER-directly observed and measured Analytic - ACCURATE ANSWER-Seems to identify functional relations between manipulated environmental events and behavior through systematic and controlled manipulations. 7 Dimensions of ABA - ACCURATE ANSWER-Generality; Effective; Technological; Applied; Conceptually Systematic; Behavioral; Analytic Empiricism - ACCURATE ANSWER-Objective observation with thorough description and quantification of the phenomena of interest, behav...

3 Purposes of ABA - ANSWER-1. Skill Acquisition 2. Behavior Reduction 3. Issues of Stimulus Control Stimulus Control - ANSWER-linking a particular response with specific stimuli Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - ANSWER-A stimulus in the presence of which responses are reinforced and in the absence of which they are not reinforced; that is, a stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement. Stimulus Generalization - ANSWER-a form of learning that occurs when one response is extend...

Intraverbal Training - ACCURATE ANSWER-Involves bringing verbal responses under functional control of verbal sD that lack point-to-point correspondence with the response. Intraverbal Prerequisites: The individual has acquired 50 mands & tacts. How to teach Intraverbal behavior: -By using prompting, fading, and chaining. -Focus on what interests the learner & manipulate the EOs. -Teach in the natural environment as much as possible. -Continue teaching new mands & tacts as you teach intr...

Indirect Measurement - ACCURATE ANSWER-Occurs when the behavior that is measured is in some way different from the behavior of interest Direct Measurement and its four measurement techniques - ACCURATE ANSWER-Occurs when the behavior that is measured is the same as the behavior that is the focus of the investigation. (Event, duration, interval, and time sample recording) Event Recording - ACCURATE ANSWER-The behavior is observed continuously throughout the observation period and each insta...

Applied behavior analysis - ACCURATE ANSWER-The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior. Determinism - ACCURATE ANSWER-The assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena occur in relation to other events and not in a willy-nilly, accidental fashion. Functional relation - ACCURATE ANSWER...
