History
Characteristics of Behavior Modification
Miscellaneous
100
Precise measurement of the actual behavior in need of improvement & documents that it was the participant's behavior that changed. The behavior must be measurable.
What is behavioral?
100
The basic strategies of most science. A carefully conducted comparison of some measure of the phenomenon of interest is conducted under two or more different conditions in which only one factor at a time is tested.
What is experimentation?
100
One of the three primary branches of our science. Places emphasis on solving problems of social importance.
What is applied behavior analysis (ABA)?
100
The primary dependent variable in behavior analysis.
What is behavior?
100
His work is the foundation of behavior modification. He is the founder of the experimental analysis of behavior.
Who is B.F. Skinner?
200
Investigates socially significant behaviors with immediate importance to the participant(s).
What is applied?
200
The repetition of experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of findings.
What is replication?
200
Established in 1968 by Baer, Wolf, and Risley as the flagship place for researchers in applied behavior analysis to publish.
What is the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis?
200
This is an undesirable behavior that a person whats to decrease.
What is behavioral excess?
200
One of the seven dimensions that states that behavior should be changed sufficiently to produce practical results for the participant.
What is effective?
300
Demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and nonoccurrence of the behavior. Functional and replicable relationships.
What is analytic?
300
The practice of objective observation.
What is empiricism?
300
One of the three primary branches of our science that focuses on identifying and analyzing the basic principles and processes that explain behavior.
What is the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB)?
300
The scientific study of human behavior to help people change behavior in meaningful ways.
What is applied behavior analysis?
300
One of the seven dimensions that state behavior change should last over time, the behavior should appear in new environments, and new behaviors should develop.
What is generality?
400
Written description of all procedures in the study is sufficiently complete and detailed to enable others to replicate it.
What is technological?
400
Scientists presume that the universe, or at least the part of it they intend to probe with the methods of science, is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other events.
What is determinism?
400
Established in 1958 as the flagship place for researchers interested in the experimental analysis of behavior to publish.
What is the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior?
400
Applied behavior analysis is guided by this philosophy.
What is behaviorism?
400
Refers to the extent to which target behaviors are appropriate, intervention procedures are acceptable, and important and significant changes in target and collateral behaviors are produced.
What is social validity?
500
Behavior change interventions are derived from the basic principles of behavior.
What is conceptually systematic?
500
The continuous questioning of the truthfulness and validity of all scientific theory and knowledge.
What is philosophic doubt?
500
These three men came before B.F. Skinner and each contributed to the field in his own way. The first studied the law of effect. The second wrote Psychology as the Behaviorist Views it, and the third demonstrated the basic processes of respondent conditioning.
Who are Thorndike, Watson, and Pavlov?
500
What behavior modification rejects as underlying causes of behavior
What are hypothetical underlying causes or "explanatory fictions"?
500
The idea that simple, logical explanations must be ruled out, experimentally or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered.
What is parsimony?
