UWF: EDF6225-Foundations of ABA(Exam 1)
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. - ANS-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. - ANS-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. - ANS-Applied Behavior Analysis
The standard celeration chart is the only standardized form of data ______ in our
science. - ANS-measurement
The word _______ refers to a systematic approach for seeking and organizing
knowledge about the natural world. - ANS-systematic approach
Scientific investigations can yield information regarding the three levels of
understanding, which are _____ ,_______ , and _______. - ANS-description, prediction,
control.
What is the purpose for this systematic approach? - ANS--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.) -
ANS-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 _______. - ANS-Control; functional relationship
The _________ is the event in which we observe change. - ANS-dependent variable
What is a functional relationship? - ANS-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. - ANS-independent variable
The "behavior" we wish to change in behavior analysis is known as the _________. (2) -
ANS-dependent variable (2)
The "intervention" we employ in behavior analysis is known as the ________. (2) -
ANS-independent variable (2)
When we apply an intervention, we are manipulating the _______ . The change we see
in the target behavior is known as the ________. - ANS-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______. -
ANS-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. - ANS-Determinism; Empiricism; Replication
What is Determinism? - ANS--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? - ANS-The idea that events occur by accident or without cause.
What is Fatalism? - ANS-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? - ANS-NO. They
are actually antithetical (opposite) to determinism.
What is Empiricism? - ANS-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. - ANS-Parsimony
What is parsimony? - ANS-all simple explanations are ruled out before more complex or
abstract explanations are considered.
Why is parsimony important? - ANS-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.
What is an experiment? - ANS-A controlled comparison of some measure of the
phenomena of interest (DV) under two or more different conditions in which only one
factor at a time (IV) differs from one condition to another.
What is replication? - ANS-The exact repeating of scientific experiments.
Why is replication important? - ANS-It is the primary method with which scientist
determine the reliability and usefulness of their findings and discover their mistakes.
Replication is the primary reason science is self-correcting Enterprise that ultimately
gets it right (not the infallibility or inherent honesty of scientists).
