The level of investigation that demonstrates correlation between events and is based on repeated observations is: 1)Prediction 2)Experimentation 3)Description 4)Control

1) Prediction

The S-R-S model of psychology is also known as: 1)Three-term contingency 2)Watsonian psychology 3)Respondent behavior model 4)Reflexive behavior model

1) Three-term contingency

This is the defining characteristic of applied behavior analysis that demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and non-occurrence of the behavior. 1)Effective 2)Analytic 3)Applied 4)Experimentation

2) Analytic

This is the defining characteristic of behavior analysis that focuses on investigating socially significant behaviors with immediate importance to the participant(s). 1)Effective 2)Applied 3)Behavioral 4)Analytical

2) Applied

This person is considered to be the founder of experimental analysis of behavior. 1)John B. Watson 2)B.F. Skinner 3)Ivan Pavlov 4)Don Baer

2) B. F. Skinner

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. 1)Mentalism 2)Determinism 3)Empiricism 4)Philosophic Doubt

2) Determinism

The overall goal of _______ is to achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomenon under study. 1)Behavior Analysis 2)Science 3)Experimentation 4)Functional relationships

2) Science

The level of investigation that involves the collection of facts about observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible relations with other known facts, and often suggests hypotheses or questions for additional research is: 1)Prediction 2)Experimentation 3)Description 4)Control

3) Description

This is the branch of behavior analysis that focuses on basic research: 1)Applied behavior analysis 2)Behaviorism 3)Experimental analysis of behavior 4)Radical behaviorism

3) Experimental analysis of bx

A functional relation means that: 1)Specific change in the independent variable can reliably be produced by specific manipulations in the dependent variable, and the change in the independent variable was unlikely to be the result of confounding variables. 2)Specific change in the dependent variable can reliably be produced by specific manipulations in the independent variable, and the change in the independent variable was unlikely to be the result of confounding variables. 3)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. 4)Specific change in the dependent variable can reliably be produced by specific manipulations in the confounding variable, and the change in the dependent variable was unlikely to be the result of the independent variable.

3) Specific change in the dependent variable can reliably be produced by specific manipulations in the independent variable, and the change in the DV was unlikely to be the result of confounding varialbles

These events marked the formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis. 1)"Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis," by Baer, Wolf, and Risley, was published and "The Psychiatric Nurse as a Behavioral Engineer," by Ayllon and Michael, was published. 2)"The Psychiatric Nurse as a Behavioral Engineer," by Ayllon and Michael, was published and Fuller conducted a study in which human application of operant behavior occurred 3)The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis began publication and "Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis," by Baer, Wolf, and Risley, was published. 4)The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis began publication and "The Psychiatric Nurse as a Behavioral Engineer," by Ayllon and Michael, was published.

3) The JABA began publication and "Some Current Dimensions of ABA," by Baer, Wolf, and Risley, was published

The level of investigation in which functional relations can be derived is: 1)Prediction 2)Experimentation 3)Description 4)Control

4) Control

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. 1)Radical behaviorism 2)Methodological behaviorism 3)Structuralism 4)Mentalism

4) Mentalism

This is the idea that simple, logical explanations must be ruled out, experimentally or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered. 1)Philosophic Doubt 2)Experimentation 3)Replication 4)Parsimony

4) Parsimony
