UWF: EDF6225-Foundations of ABA (Exam
1)CORRECT 100%
Although most of you are preparing for the BACB certification exam, please know that the material is
based on the work of ________ and his science and philosophy of human behavior. There are occasions
where we may spend time on items that are no longer specifically required for the exam, but we feel are
required to be an excellent behavior scientist. - ANSWER B.F. Skinner
The ________ is the only standardized form of data measurement in our science. In this course, you will
be charting your own behavior - specifically your daily study of ABA terminology. - ANSWER Standard
Celeration Chart (SCC)
The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) is the single governing body for professionals in the field
of _______. The BACB was established in 1998 to provide certification to professionals in an effort to
establish minimum criteria to be a reactionary in the field. - ANSWER Applied Behavior Analysis
The standard celeration chart is the only standardized form of data ______ in our science. - ANSWER
measurement
The word _______ refers to a systematic approach for seeking and organizing knowledge about the
natural world. - ANSWER systematic approach
Scientific investigations can yield information regarding the three levels of understanding, which are
_____ ,_______ , and _______. - ANSWER description, prediction, control.
What is the purpose for this systematic approach? - ANSWER -To achieve a thorough understanding of
the phenomena under study.
-To seek to discover the real truths.
--so no bias by groups or organizations
--or by the scientists themselves.
, _______ studies produce a collection of facts about the observed events that can be quantified,
classified, and examined for possible relations with other known facts.
(Can also suggest hypothesis, questions, or additional research ideas.) - ANSWER Description
The highest level of scientific understanding is ________ . In this regard, we specifically manipulate one
event (the independent variable) in order to produce a reliable change in another event (the dependent
variable), and the change in the dependent variable is not likely due to other extraneous factors (known
as confounding variables). This relationship is referred to as a _______. - ANSWER Control; functional
relationship
The _________ is the event in which we observe change. - ANSWER dependent variable
What is a functional relationship? - ANSWER It exists when a well-controlled experiment demonstrates
that a specific change in one event (the dependent variable) is reliably produced by specific
manipulations of another event (the independent variable), and that the change in the dependent
variable was unlikely to be the result of other extraneous factors (confounding variables).
The _______ is the event in which we manipulate. - ANSWER independent variable
The "behavior" we wish to change in behavior analysis is known as the _________. (2) - ANSWER
dependent variable (2)
The "intervention" we employ in behavior analysis is known as the ________. (2) - ANSWER independent
variable (2)
When we apply an intervention, we are manipulating the _______ . The change we see in the target
behavior is known as the ________. - ANSWER independent variable; dependent variable
A _______ is demonstrated when we ________ the independent variable and see a ____ in the
dependent variable and that change is not likely due to______. - ANSWER functional relationship;
manipulate; change; extraneous variables
______ is the assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena occur as a
result of other events. _______ is the objective observation of the phenomena of interest. _______ is
, the repeating of experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of the findings. - ANSWER
Determinism; Empiricism; Replication
What is Determinism? - ANSWER -The idea that scientists follow that the universe is a lawful and orderly
place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other events.
-Events do not occur at will.
-Events are related in systematic ways.
What is Accidentalism? - ANSWER The idea that events occur by accident or without cause.
What is Fatalism? - ANSWER the belief that all events are predetermined and therefore inevitable. The
scientific discovery of functional relations and use of these discoveries to improve things would be
impossible.
Can Accidentalism and Fatalism occur concurrently with Determinism? - ANSWER NO. They are actually
antithetical (opposite) to determinism.
What is Empiricism? - ANSWER The practice of object observation of the phenomena or interest. The
basis on which all scientific knowledge is built from.
_______ is ensuring we consider the simplest, most logical explanation of a phenomenon before more
complex explanations are considered. - ANSWER Parsimony
What is parsimony? - ANSWER all simple explanations are ruled out before more complex or abstract
explanations are considered.
Why is parsimony important? - ANSWER Parsimonious interpretations help scientists assess and fit new
findings within the field's existing knowledge base. A fully parsimonious interpretation consists only of
those elements that are necessary and sufficient to explain the phenomenon at hand.
In other words, given a choice between two competing and compelling explanations for the same
phenomenon, one should shave off extraneous variables and choose the simplest explanation, the one
that requires the fewest assumptions.
