11. SD are events that have been associated w/ the availability or non-availability of

reinforcement in the past: True

12. are events that have been associated with the availability or non-

availability of reinforcement in the past: SD

13. Science: Systematic approach for seeking & organizing knowledge about the natural world

14. Purpose of science: To achieve a thorough understanding of the

phenomena under study

15. ABA seeks to: Discover the real truths (not those held by certain groups, organizations, etc.)

16. Description: Collection of facts about observed events that can be quantified,

classified, and examined for possible relations with other known facts often suggests hypotheses or questions for additional research

17. Science's Conservative value: Parsimony

18. Sciences guiding conscience: Philosophical doubt Science's basic strategy: Experimentation

19. Science's requirement for believability: Replication

20. Parsimony: The idea that simple, logical explanations must be ruled out,

experimentally or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered

21. Replication: The repetition of experiments to determine the reliability and

usefulness of findings

22. Empiricism: Practice of objective observation of phenomena of interest

4 / n convenient for study: Baer et al behaviors that are observable and measurable: Behavior dimension of ABA

33. defines how we arrive to our decision as to whether or not behavior change occurred as

we predicted: Analytic dimension of ABA

34. Defines procedures clearly and in detail so they are replicable: Technological dimensions of

ABA

35. when a stimulus is added and future frequencies of behavior maintain or increase:

Positive Reinforcement

36. a functional theory: Reinforcement Theory

37. means all of its components are defined by their function (how they work)-

: Functional Theories

38. 3 major branches of behavior analysis: Behaviorism

Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

39. Three levels of understanding: description, prediction, control
