The simplest theory that fits the facts of a problem in the one that should be selected.
What is parsimony?
100
Investigates socially significant behaviors with immediate importance to the subject.
What is applied?
100
Stimulus Generalization
What is teaching skills under one condition to apply them under conditions sharing similar qualities.
100
Event Recording
What is the number of times behavior repeats per specific time period?
100
Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.
What is positive reinforcement?
200
Derived from or guided by experiment or experience.
What is empiricism?
200
Improves behavior sufficiently to produce practical results for the client.
What is effective?
200
Stimulus Change
What is teaching one to act differently under different conditions by changing the environment?
200
A ratio formed by combining the same dimensional quantities, such as count or time; expressed as a number of parts per 100.
What is percentage?
200
A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus, that decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions.
What is negative punishment?
300
A method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data are guided, a hypothesis or question is formulated from these data, and the hypothesis or question is empirically tested.
What is scientific method?
300
Produces behavioral changes that last over time, appeal in other environments or spread to other behaviors.
What is generalization?
300
Response Cost
What is reducing an unwanted behavior using penalties.
300
Duration
What is the time elapsed from the beginning to the end of responding?
300
A stimulus whose termination functions as reinforcement.
What is negative reinforcement?
400
Doctrine that acts of the will, occurrences in nature, or social or psychological phenomena are casually determined by preceding events or natural laws.
What is determinism?
400
The written description of all procedures used in the study is sufficiently complete and detailed to enable others to replicate it.
What is technological?
400
Extinction
What is appropriate withholding of reinforcement?
400
Latency
What is the time elapsed from signal until initiation of response?
400
A behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior.
What is positive punishment?
500
A practical approach to problems in which truth is found in the process of verification
What is pragmatism?
500
Behavior change interventions are derived from basic principles of behavior.
What is conceptually systemic?
500
Timeout
What is a temporary separation from the group.
500
Interresponse Time
What is the time elapsed from R1 to R2?
500
A principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of low-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior.
