Learning And Behavior Test 1

Front 1

Applied Behavior analysis

Back 1

Science of using the basic laws of behavior and applying them to real world human scenarios

Front 2

Behavior

Back 2

Anything an organism does

Front 3

Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)

Back 3

Structural approach to observing how a response looks and making inferences about cognitive dev

Front 4

Law of Effect

Back 4

Desired outcome as a result of a behavior will make the behavior more likely to occur under the same conditions. Undesirable outcome as the result of a behavior will make that behavior less likely to occur under the same conditions

Front 5

Learning

Back 5

Modifying behavior based on previous experiences

Front 6

Private Behavior

Back 6

Unobservable, internal, behaviors (???)

Front 7

Selection by Conscequence

Back 7

Darwinian approach to behavior and learning (might be similar to the law of effect)

Front 8

Trial-and-error learning

Back 8

Learning through successful and non-successful attempts at a desired outcome

Front 9

A-B-A-B Reversal design

Back 9

Powerful design to isolate the cause of a behavior by eliciting a behavior under certain circumstances, then taking away said circumstances and having the behavior cease, only to be restarted once the circumstances of the original behavior inducing stimuli are returned

Front 10

Baseline

Back 10

Measured presence of behavior without modification over an extended period of time

Front 11

Baseline sensitivity

Back 11

???

Front 12

Change in Level (Of baseline?)

Front 13

Functional Analysis

Back 13

Use of operant conditioning laws to establish link between CR and CS

Front 14

Generality

Back 14

CR being elicited by similar CS

Front 15

History of Reinforcement

Back 15

Previous experience an organism has with being reinforced in a CS --> CR paradigm

Front 16

Introspection

Back 16

Self-reporting on internal thoughts and feelings (may manifest themselves in private behavior)

Front 17

Hypothetical construct

Back 17

Explanatory variable that is not directly observable, but is attempted to be measured (ie. IQ)

Front 18

Immediacy of change???

Front 19

Range of variability

Back 19

Amount that a response can vary from individual CS--> CR to CS--> CR

Front 20

Replication

Back 20

Repeating results of an experiment

Front 21

Single-subject Research

Back 21

Case-study on an individual to explore how manipulating their environment modifies their behavior

Front 22

Steady-state performance

Back 22

Balanced, consistent performance

Front 23

Structural approach

Back 23

Breaking down thoughts and feelings into their most basic components through introspection

Front 24

Functional Approach

Back 24

Explore mental processes in a more objective manner. They focused on the purpose of consciousness and behavior rather than the elements of consciousness

Front 25

topography

Back 25

Discription of a behavior in an operationalized way. (ie. Instead of: "The student disrespecting the teacher," say "the student is refusing to comply with a direction.")

Front 26

Systematic replication

Back 26

Replicating results via replicating methods
