Behaviour analysts look for causes of psychological behaviour in the...

The best reference for your scientific work is...

Behaviour can be defined as...

Which of the following is a principle?

Which of the following is incorrect in regards to behaviour?

The use of visual analysis requires which of the following assumptions?

Visual analysis involves looking at the level, trend, and ______________ of the data.

A common assumption in social science is that variability is ____________ to the individual.

_______________ are tentative statements for which further support is sought.

Behaviour analysis ______________ ‘off-the-shelf’ designs for particular research questions.

_____________ of behaviour describes a functional relation between behaviour and controlling variables.

Inductive approaches involve __________________________________.

Dissimilarity of scores in an experimental condition is called __________.

When changes in behaviour result from the intervention are meaningful and useful, they are ____________________.

A / an __________________ is a brief but specific statement of what the researcher wants to learn from conducting the experiment.

Beginning with a measure of an individual’s behaviour against which an independent variable is measured is called _________________________.

In his book The Behavior of Organisms (1938) Skinner described a science called the ________________________ of behaviour.

________________ is antithetical to determinism, which specifies that behaviour is lawful.

Radical behaviourism does not ignore thoughts and feelings, but treats them like other operant behaviours and calls them _____________________.

_____________________ are circular arguments that do not help to explain behaviour.

The principle that conclusions drawn from scientific manipulation are tentative is that of __________________.

A behaviour analyst may use _________________________________.

_____________________ refers to a variety of techniques designed to reduce the stimulation directly produced by a response.

Allen et al. (2013) found that the presence of manic episode in a woman with schizoaffective disorder and an intellectual disability made challenging behaviour sensitive to attention. This indicated that her challenging behaviour was likely maintained by ______________________.

Escape extinction is __________________ for behaviours maintained by social attention.

Holtyn et al. (2014) used negative reinforcement to increase drug abstinence by introducing a _________________ contingent on an employee producing a urine sample showing drug use.

The experimental analysis of behaviour as defined by Skinner, involves:

The smell of live flesh makes the Infecteds’ eyes dilate like a shark’s do. The smell of live flesh is a / an:

The Healers turn the lights to red when they enter the quarantine area where the Infected are being rehabilitated. When the lights go red, the Infecteds’ eyes dilate. The lights are now a / an:

The Infecteds’ eyes dilating can be an example of a / an:

The dimension of applied behaviour analysis ‘generality’ refers to:

We can train dogs to sniff out Infected that are hiding in wooded areas. If we say that the dogs do this because we reinforce their behaviour rather than because the dogs’ ids have an internal desire to hunt the Infected, we are being:

‘The Infected can hunt people because they are intelligent’ is:

How are reinforcement and bribery different?

Removing reinforcement for a previously reinforced behaviour is:

Motivating operations...
