Term

Definition
| the level of investigation in science that involves the collection of information to suggest hypotheses or questions for additional research |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the level of investigation in science in which correlations can be demonstrated or when one event occurs, another event is likely to occur or not occur. It also enables preparation. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the only level of investigation in science that provides an understanding of functional relations. It is considered the highest level of scientific understanding for this reason |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| to achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomenon under study |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 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 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 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 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is the idea that simple, logical explanations must be ruled out, experimentally or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered |
|
|
Term
| Experimental analysis of behavior |
|
Definition
| This is the branch of behavior analysis that focuses on basic research |
|
|
Term
| S-R-S model is also known as |

|
Term
|
Definition
| founder of the experimental analysis of behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| this is the approach to understanding behavior that assumes that a mental or "inner" dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension and that phenomena in this dimension either directly cause or at least mediate some forms of behavior |
|
|
Term
| These events marked the formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis |
|
Definition
| Although lots of events contributed to the development of applied behavior analysis as it is known today, the start of publication for the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and the publication by Baer, Wolf, and Risley titled "Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis" marked the formal beginning of contemporary applied behavior analysis. |

Term
|
Definition
| This is the defining characteristic of behavior analysis that focuses on investigating socially significant behaviors with immediate importance to the participant(s). |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is the defining characteristic of applied behavior analysis that demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and non-occurrence of the behavior |
