What is "The Behavior of Organisms" by B.F. Skinner The experimental branch of behavior analysis formally began in 1938 with the publication of this book. Who is Mark Sundberg? This behaviorist wrote chapter 25 of the Cooper text AND the verbal behavior language assessment tool called VB-MAPP What is treatment drift? This occurs when the application of the independent variable during later phases of an experiment differs from the way it was applied at the outset of the study. What is a consequence? A stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest. Who are Cooper, Heron and Heward? Together, these behaviorists published the text we use. Is is the "go-to" reference for BCBAs/practitioners. What is a contingency?
Various types of temporal and functional relations between behavior and antecedents and consequent variables. What is a data path? A visual that represents the level and trend of behavior between successive data points. Physically intervening as soon as the client begins to emit the problem behavior to prevent or block the completion of the response. What is response blocking? He was widely recognized as the spokesman for the new "stimulus-response" behaviorism. Who was John B. Watson? Attention, Automatic, Access to tangible, Escape/Avoidance What are the four functions of behavior? "Theoretical terms that refer to a possibly existing, but at the moment unobserved process or entity." What are hypothetical constructs? What is parsimony? An attitude that requires that all simple, logical explanations for the phenomenon under investigation be ruled out... before more complex or abstract explanations are considered.
What are confounding variables? uncontrolled variables known or suspected to exert an influence on the dependent variable. What is applied behavior analysis? A scientific approach for discovering environmental variables that reliably influence socially significant behavior and for developing a technology of behavior change that takes practical advantage of those discoveries.
