Data Collection
100
Behavior selected must be the behavior in need of improvement, must be measurable and must be observable.
What is Behavioral
100
behavior follows general rules and laws and does not just occur randomly
What is Determinism
100
The evolution of a genetically related group of organisms. A behavior acquired by the species during the course of its evolution as a result of contingencies of survival
What is phylogeny
100
A reduction, over repeated presentations, in the respondent behavior elicited by a stimulus.
What is ABSCISSA
100
_____ ____ is used for continuous behaviors or for those behaviors whose onset and end are difficult to distinguish because the behaviors occur at such high rates.
What is Interval Recording *Extra: Name the two types of interval recording
200
Examples of this Dimension: 1) Eating as it relates to metabolism vs eating as it relates to children /adults eating too little/much 2) Bar pressing responses because it is convenient vs. if it indicates mastery of an arithmetic skill
What is Applied
200
the practice of ruling out simple, logical explanations before considering more complex or abstract explanations
What is Parsimony Extra 10 points: Give an example of parsimony
200
example of this principle is: one can use the opportunity to play ball to reinforce a person to doing something he or she is less likely to do, such as washing dishes.
What is Premack Principle
200
The ___________ of data relates to how different or “spread out” the scores are from each other
What is Variability
200
recording method example: if a teacher makes a request for a student to put an activity away, the observer would be interested in the length of time it takes for the student to comply with the request. Use this method if the opportunity and the behavior have a clear beginning and end.
What is Latency
300
Investigating behaviors of social significance
What is Applied
300
The basic strategy of most sciences Meant to investigate if a functional relation exists
What is experimentation
300
Environmental events that occur before a behavior
What is Antecedents
300
The ______ of the data relates to the “position” of the data set taken from the Y-axis
What is Level
300
Number of correctly completed homework problems, tokens for appropriate behavior, and referrals are examples of what kind of recording/ data collection
What is permanent product recording
400
requires that behavior change interventions are derived from the principles of behavior
What is Conceptually Systematic
400
Requires the scientist to continually question the truthfulness of what is regarded as fact.
What is philosophical doubt Extra points: Give an example of philosophical doubt
400
When two or more concurrent-interval schedules are available, relative rate of response matches (or equals) relative rate of reinforcement.
What is Matching Law
400
used to compare data across subjects or conditions not related by a common dimension. used for plotting discontinuous data. -does not have data points -not for summarizing repeated measures across time
What is Bar graph Extra - give an example of when you would use a bar graph
400
During a 60 minute observation, David had 3 tantrums that lasted 3 minutes, 7 minutes, and then 5 minutes with a total duration of 15 minutes. What is the average duration per tantrum?
What is Average duration – 15 minutes divided by 3 tantrums = Average of 5 minutes per tantrum.

6 Attitudes of Science
What are determinism, empiricism, experimentation, replication,parsimony, philosophic doubt
500
A reduction, over repeated presentations, in the respondent behavior elicited by a stimulus.
What is HABITUATION
500
developed by skinner. Recorder that automatically generated the graph. Slope represents rate. Steep slope means high rates of responding. Flat line means 0. No negative slopes.
What is Cumulative Record
500
A _________ measure should be used only when the length of observation time is consistent from day to day (e.g., always 2 hours). Vs A _____ measure should be used if the length of observation time varies from day to day (e.g., 60 minutes on Monday, 300 minutes on Tuesday).
What is frequency, rate
