Founding Fathers
This neurologist invested time on Behaviorism and investigated the science and philosophy on the science of behavior.
Sigmund Freud
When the client or his guardian comes to you for assistance with a targeted behavior that is socially significant to them. This describes which of the 7 dimensions of behavior?
Applied
When we consider the universe as a lawful and orderly place which phenomena occur for a reason we believe in which assumption or attitude of science
Determinism
When we objectively observe and give a clear picture of how the behavior looks we are engaging in which scientific investigation?
Description
This psychologist helped to advanced the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) through laboratory experimentation with nonhuman subjects.
John Watson
When you directly observe behavior in an objective way within the context of their environment, you are engaging in what dimension of ABA?
Behavior
When we practice objectively observing and measuring phenomena of interest we believe in what assumption or attitude of science
Empiricism
An assumption or hypothesis that there would be no behavior change without the presentation of another variable this is which element of scientific investigation?
Prediction
The advancement of the science of Behaviorism through laboratory experimentation with nonhuman subjects is now called what term?
Experimental Analysis of Behavior or EAB
When we consistently and systematically use principles of behavior to improve socially significant behaviors we are engaging in which dimension of behavior?
Conceptually Systematic
What assumption or attitude of science believes in a controlled comparison of some measure of the phenomenon of interest under two or more conditions in which only one factor at a time differs from one condition to another
Experimentation
The highest level of scientific understanding. The one with a great level of certainty confirms there is a functional relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable.
Control
From this psychologist scientific body of work came the formal description of respondent and operant behaviors.
John Watson
When we are ensuring at the onset of the behavior analytic plan that we are planning for generalization and maintenance what dimension of behavior are we considering?
Generality
When scientist or practitioners continually and respectfully question the truthfulness of what is regarded as fact, they are engaging in what attitude of science?
Philosophical Doubt
When you as a RBT go into a setting and observe a client and provide an objective but clear picture of how the behavior looks (the topography), you have engaged in which scientific investigation?
Description
This science in which methods derived from the principles of behavior are applied systematically to improve socially significant behaviors and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for behavior change.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
When we find the most appropriate research design that allows us to experimentally and systematically manipulate the independent variable and the dependent variable in search for a functional relationship we are considering which dimension of behavior?
Analytic
To explain away all of the more logical and most simple explanations for the phenomena before moving on to more complex ones this is which attitude of science?
Parsimony
When you as a RBT hypothesis or make an educated guess that if the student does not receive the intervention necessary to improve his behavior nothing will change, you have engaged in which scientific investigation?
