Answer 53

Functional relations

Question 54

1. Orderly relations exist between two classes of events: in behavior analysis, stimulus classes and response classes 2. Changes in one variable, the independent variable, result in changes in a second variable, the dependent variable. - In behavior analysis, environmental events are the independent variables as manipulated and, - behavioral dimensions as measured are the Dependant variables (DV) 3. The value of the behavioral dimensions, DV, changes in an orderly fashion 4. Functional relations must be demonstrated through systematic manipulations
