Presumed, but unobserved entities

Question 11

Explanatory Fictions

Question 15

Pavlov

Answer 15

Respondent Conditioning

Question 16

Watson

Answer 16

Said we should study behavior by direct observation of the relationship between environmental stimuli (S) and the responses (R) .S-R-S behaviorism.

Question 17

Skinner

Answer 17

Radical Behaviorism. It included public and private events.

Question 18

Skinner was influenced by what 2 main sources?

Answer 18

Darwinism Selectionism and Pragmatism : The relationship between the setting (A) and the behavior (B) is because of the consequence (C).

Question 19

What are the 2 Primary types of behavior?

Answer 19

Respondent Behavior and Operant Behavior

Question 20

Respondent Behavior

Answer 20

Reflex. Elicited by stimuli that immediately precede them (antecedent stimuli). Involuntary. (US-UR).

Question 21

Phylogeny

Answer 21

Behavior that is inherited genetically. Respondent.

Question 22

This behavior is due to phylogenetic history

Answer 22

Respondent

Question 23

Respondent Conditioning

Answer 23

When new stimuli acquire ability to elicit respondents

Question 24

Operant Behavior

Answer 24

Emit/Evoke. Behavior whose properties of occurrence is determined by its History of Consequences. Voluntary action. AKA S-R-S

Question 25

Which behavior elicits a response?

Answer 25

Respondent Behavior

Question 26

Which behavior emits/evokes a response?

Answer 26

Operant Behavior

Question 27

An Operant is defined by it's

Answer 27

Function (not topography) & Adaptation (reductions in responding evoked by an antecedent stimulus over repeated presentations).

Question 28

What type of behavior is subject to Habituation?

Answer 28

Respondent Behavior

Question 29

What type of behavior is subject to Adaptation?

Answer 29

Operant Behavior

Question 30

What type of learning results from an organism's interaction with his/her environment?

Answer 30

Ontogeny (Operant)

Question 31

Operant Contingency is AKA

Answer 31

Behavioral Contingency, 3 Term Contingency, ABC

Question 32

Operant Contingency

Answer 32

The dependency of a consequence on the occurrence of a behavior.

Question 33

What is the Primary Unit of Analysis in ABA?

Answer 33

The 3 Term Contingency (ABC)

Question 34

How does Temporal Contiguity apply to Respondent Conditioning?

Answer 34

It affects how close in time the CS & UCS are paired.

Question 35

How does Temporal Contiguity apply to Operant Conditioning?

Answer 35

It affects how close in time the pairing of the behavior and consequence are. Ex. Superstitious bx
