Tasklist A

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:

• Prediction

• Experimentation

• Description

• Control

The level of investigation that demonstrates correlation between events and is based on repeated observations is:

• Prediction

• Experimentation

• Description

• Control

The level of investigation in which functional relations can be derived is:

• Prediction

• Experimentation

• Description

• Control

The overall goal of _______ is to achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomenon under study.

• Behavior Analysis

• Science

• Experimentation

• Functional relationships

A functional relation means that:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• Mentalism

• Determinism

• Empiricism

• Philosophic Doubt

This is the idea that simple, logical explanations must be ruled out, experimentally or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered.

• Philosophic Doubt

• Experimentation

• Replication

• Parsimony

This is the branch of behavior analysis that focuses on basic research:

• Applied behavior analysis

• Behaviorism

• Experimental analysis of behavior

• Radical behaviorism

The S-R model of psychology is also known as:

• Three-term contingency

• Watsonian psychology

• Respondent behavior model

• Reflexive behavior model

This person is considered to be the founder of experimental analysis of behavior.

• John B. Watson

• B.F. Skinner

• Ivan Pavlov

• Don Baer
