Foundations of ABA - EXAM 1|66 Questions with Verified Answers The level of investigation that involves the collection of facts about observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examine... d for possible relations with other known facts, and often suggests hypotheses or questions for additional research is - CORRECT ANSWER Description The level of investigation in which functional relations can be derived is - CORRECT ANSWER Control The overall goal of ______________ is to achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomenon under study. - CORRECT ANSWER Science A functional relation means that - CORRECT ANSWER Specific change in the dependent variable can reliably be produced by specific manipulations in the independent variable, and the change in the dependent variable was unlikely to be the result of confounding variables. This is the assumption upon which science is predicated, the idea that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as the result of other events. - CORRECT ANSWER Determinism This is the idea that simple, logical explanations must be ruled out, experimentally or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered. - CORRECT ANSWER Parsimony This is the branch of behavior analysis that focuses on basic research: - CORRECT ANSWER Experimental Analysis of behavior (EAB) The S-R-S model of psychology is also know as: - CORRECT ANSWER Three-term contingency This person is considered to be the founder of experimental analysis of behavior - CORRECT ANSWER B.F.Skinner This is the approach to understanding behavior that assumes that a mental or "inner" dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension and that phenomena in this dimension either directly cause or at least mediate some forms of behavior. - CORRECT ANSWER Mentalism These events marked the formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis. - CORRECT ANSWER The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis began publication and "Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis" by Baer, Wolf, and Risley was published This is the defining characteristic of behavior analysis that focuses on investigating socially significant behaviors with immediate importance to the participant(s). - CORRECT ANSWER Applied This is the defining characteristic of applied behavior analysis that demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and non-occurrence of the behavior. - CORRECT ANSWER Analytic Name one of the attitudes of science - CORRECT ANSWER DEERPP (determinism, emperism, experimentation, replication, parsimony, philosophic doubt) What is the philosophy of the science of behavior? - CORRECT ANSWER Behaviorism True or False: Radical behaviorism (Skinner's behaviorism) includes & seeks to understand all human behavior. - CORRECT ANSWER True List one of the seven defining dimensions of ABA as described by Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968). - CORRECT ANSWER GETACAB (generality, effective, technological, analytic, conceptually systematic, applied, behavioral) The level of investigation that demonstrates correlation between events is based on repeated observations is: - CORRECT ANSWER Prediction The level of investigation in which functional relations can be derived is: - CORRECT ANSWER Control Which of the following is NOT an example of operant behavior? - CORRECT ANSWER A dog blinking its eyes after a flash of light is presented. The controlling variables of primary importance in applied behavior analysis are located in - CORRECT ANSWER The environment Two functionally distinct types of behavior important to behavior analysis include: - CORRECT ANSWER Respondent and operant behavior Which of the following is considered a property of behavior amenable to measurement? - CORRECT ANSWER Temporal Locus A _____________ denotes set or collection of knowledge and skills a person has learned that are relevant to particular settings or tasks. - CORRECT ANSWER Repertoire Behavior is affected by stimulus changes that occur prior to and immediately after the behavior. The term ___________ refers to environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest. - CORRECT ANSWER Antecedent A behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli and is "brought about" by a stimulus that precedes it is: - CORRECT ANSWER Respondent A response is followed by a stimulus change, the effect of which is an increase in the future frequency of behavior. Which type of stimulus-change operation most likely occurred? - CORRECT ANSWER Reinforcement Water is an example of ____________ reinforcer, while money is an example of a ____________ reinforcer. - CORRECT ANSWER unconditioned, conditioned A response is followed by a stimulus change, the effect of which is a decrease in the future frequency of behavior. Which type of stimulus-change operation most likely occurred? - CORRECT ANSWER Punishment A behavior that occurs more frequently under some antecedent conditions than it does in others is called a(n): - CORRECT ANSWER Discriminative operant Food deprivation may alter the momentary effectiveness of food as a reinforcer. Food deprivation is an example of a(n): - CORRECT ANSWER Motivating operation The three-term contingency is made of these three terms: - CORRECT ANSWER Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence Answering the door when you hear the door bell and not when it is silent is an example of behavior being under: - CORRECT ANSWER Stimulus control The term "contingent" as used in behavior analysis refers to the dependent relationship of a particular consequence on the occurrence of behavior and is also used in reference to the _________ contiguity of behavior and its consequences. - CORRECT ANSWER Temporal _____________________behavior is elicited by antecedent stimuli. - CORRECT ANSWER Respondent Conditioned__________________ are the product of respondent conditioning. - CORRECT ANSWER Reflexes Operant behavior is selected by its: - CORRECT ANSWER Consequences Operant conditioning encompasses: - CORRECT ANSWER Reinforcement and punishment 3 types of investigations - CORRECT ANSWER Description, Prediction, Control Practice of objective observation of phenomena of interest; what all scientific knowledge is built upon. - CORRECT ANSWER Empericism Basic strategy in most sciences; experiment - CORRECT ANSWER Experimentation The repetition of experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of findings: - CORRECT ANSWER Replication The continuous questioning of the truthfulness and validity of theory and knowledge: - CORRECT ANSWER Philosophic Doubt Behavior Analysis is comprised of 3 major branches: - CORRECT ANSWER Behaviorism, EAB, ABA Respondant behavior - CORRECT ANSWER The response component of a reflex;behavior that is elicited, or induced by anticedent stimuli Respondant conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER A stimulus-stimulus pairing procedure in which a neutral stimulus is presented with an unconditioned stimulus until the nuetral stimulus becomes conditioned (Pavlov) Operant Behavior - CORRECT ANSWER Behavior that is selected, maintained, and brought under stimulus control as a function of its consequences; each person's reportoire of operant behavior is a product of his history of interactions with the environment. Operant conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER The basic process by which operant learning occurs; consequences (stimulus changes immediately following responses) result in an increased (reinforcement) or decreased (punishment)frequency of the same type of behavior under similar motivational conditions in the future. Methodological behaviorism - CORRECT ANSWER Philosophical position that considers behavioral events that cannot be publicly observed to be outside the realm of the science Radical Behaviorism makes 3 assumptions: - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Private events are behavior 2. Private events are only distinguished by its inaccessibility 3. No special properties Fuller (1949) - CORRECT ANSWER One of the first students of operant behavior, with a 18 year old boy, arm raising response - injecting warm sugar in mouth after moving arm. The dimension of ABA that investigates socially important behavior - CORRECT ANSWER Applied The dimension of ABA that measures the behavior in need of improvement and show change - CORRECT ANSWER Behavioral The dimension of ABA that shows functional and replicable relationships - CORRECT ANSWER Analytic The dimension of ABA that is written descriptions of procedures - CORRECT ANSWER Technological The dimension of ABA that interventions are derived from basic principals of behavior - CORRECT ANSWER Conceptually Systematic The dimension of ABA that improves behaviors sufficiently to produce practical results for participants - CORRECT ANSWER Effective The dimension of ABA that happens over time and appears in other environments or across other behaviors - CORRECT ANSWER Generality Descriptions of behavior - CORRECT ANSWER Structural and functional Energy change that affects an organism through receptive cells - CORRECT ANSWER Stimulus Positive reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWER Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions. Positive punishment - CORRECT ANSWER A behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior negative reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWER Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions. negative punishment - CORRECT ANSWER A behavior is followed immediately by the removal (or decrease in the intensity) of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior principles and behavior change tactics: - CORRECT ANSWER Principles describe how behavior works, tactics use principles to create interventions Define satiation and deprivation - CORRECT ANSWER satiation is too much and deprivation is not enough [Show More]
