Mystery
100
The belief that all events in the universe (or at least the part they intend to probe with the methods of science) are orderly, lawful, predictable, and determined by physical causes.
What is Determinism
100
Socially significant behaviors are selected
What is Applied
100
Conducted experiments that uncovered the basic processes of responded conditioning. Demonstrated that a reflex could be conditioned to a neutral stimulus.
Who is Ivan Pavlov
100
The addition or removal of a stimulus contingent on a behavior that increases the future occurrence of that behavior under similar conditions.
What is Reinforcement
100
The three primary branches of behavior analysis
What are 1) behaviorism (conceptual), 2) the experimental analysis of behavior (identify and analyze basic principles), and 3) applied behavior analysis (solving problems of social significance).
200
The repeating of experiments as well as repeating independent variable conditions within experiments.
What is Reliability
200
Decisions are data based
What is Analytic
200
Founder of the experimental analysis of behavior. Known for accounting for behavior with the 3-term contingency and discovering how immediate reinforcement determines future behavior through it's relation to individual action.
Who is B.F. Skinner
200
The addition or removal of a stimulus contingent on a behavior that decreases the future occurrence of that behavior under similar conditions.
What is Punishment
200
Anything an individual does when interacting with the environment. Appropriate subject matter of behavior analysis.
What is Behavior
300
The attitude all simple, logical explanations for the phenomena under investigation must be ruled out experimentally before more complex or abstract alternatives are considered.
What is Parsimony
300
Interventions are monitored to evaluate the impact on the target behavior
What is Effective
300
Wrote the seminal paper describing how applied behavior analysts should be applied, behavioral, analytic, technological, conceptually systematic, effective, and capable of appropriate generalized outcomes.
Who are Don Baer, Mont Wolf, and Todd Risley.
300
The discontinuing of reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior the primary effect of which is a decrease in the frequency of behavior until it reaches a prereinforced level or ultimately ceases to occur.
What is Operant Behavior
300
Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence is known as this and it defines operant behavior
What is the three-term contingency.
400
The attitude that scientist should continually question the truthfulness of what is regarded as fact.
What is Philosophical Doubt
400
Behavior are targeted in a way that the desired changes occur in environments other than where they were discretely taught
What is Generality
400
Major contribution was the law of effect which states that a behavior that produces a favorable effect on the environment is more likely to be repeated in the future.
Who is Edward Thorndike.
400
Behavior that is selected, maintained, and brought under stimulus control as a function of its consequences
What is Operant Behavior
400
Behavior analysts believe that these are governed by the same laws that govern overt behavior, and they do not explain these events using mentalistic processes.
What are private events
500
This is the practice of objective observation. Every effort to understand, predict, and improve behavior hinges on the ability to completely define, systematically observe, and accurately record occurrences and non-occurrences of the behavior of interest.
What is Empiricism
500
Procedures are described clearly and concisely so that others may implement accurately AND interventions are consistent with principles demonstrated in the literature.
What is Technological and Conceptually Systematic
500
Wrote the article "Psychology as the Behaviorist Views it," asserting that observable behavior was the proper subject matter of psychology. He described a stimulus-response psychology.
Who is John Watson
500
Behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli. The response component of a reflex.
What is Respondent Behavior
500
Behavior analysts are particularly focused on general principles that relate to the _________ of behavior rather than the form or topography of behavior.
What is Function
