SCIENCE 1
Collection of Facts about observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible relations with other known facts
What is description?
Stimulus-response psychology is an early form of _____________.
What is behaviorism?
If a behavior change lasts over time and in multiple environments, then this dimension has occurred.
What is generality?
In this attitude of science, scientists presume that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other events.
What is determinism?
Behavior analysts work in one or more of these domains.
What are behaviorism, experimental analysis of behavior, ABA, and professional practice?
This requires the scientist to continually question the truthfulness of what is regarded as fact.
What is Philosophic Doubt?
This person is the founder of the experimental analysis of behavior.
Who is B.F. Skinner?
This dimension signals ABA's commitment to effecting improvements in behaviors that enhance and improve people's lives.
What is applied?
A statement of the anticipated outcome of a presently unknown or future measurement
What is prediction?
This type of research bridges basic and applied research and informs both domains.
What is translational research?
Description, Prediction, and Control
What are the levels of understanding?
A form of behaviorism that attempts to understand all human behavior, including private events, in terms of controlling variables in the history of the person and the species
What is radical behaviorism?
Johnny describes an extinction procedure in a way that everyone is able to follow through with the procedure with the same results. __________ is the dimension of ABA used here.
What is technological?

What is an experiment?
ABA improves these types of behaviors.
What are socially significant behaviors?
The practice of objective observation and measurement of the phenomena of interest
What is empiricism?
A fictitious variable that often is an observed behavior that contributes nothing to an understanding of the variables responsible for developing or maintaining the behavior.
What is explanatory fiction?
This is when procedures for changing behavior and any interpretations of how or why these procedures were effective should be described in terms of the relevant principles from which they were derived.
What is conceptually systematic?
The repeating of experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of their findings
What is replication?
This dimension is when behaviors are improved sufficiently to produce practical results for the participant/client.
What is effective?
This exists when a well-controlled experiment demonstrates that a specific change in one event is reliably produced by the manipulations of another event
What is a functional relation?
Approach to the study of behavior which assumes that an inner dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension
What is mentalism?
Baer, Wolf, and Risley
This is when all simple, logical explanations for the phenomenon under investigation be ruled out before more complex or abstract explanations are considered
What is parsimony?
What is applied research?
