Functional Relationship - ANSWERSthe results of an experiment that describe the occurrence of the phenomena under study as a function of the operation of one or more specified and controlled variables in the experiment in which specific change in one event (dependent variable) can be produced by manipulating another event (the independent variable) and that the change in the dependent variable was unlikely the result of other factors (confounding variable). Functional Relationship - ANSWERSIt...

Applied Behavior Analysis: The science in which tactics derived from the principles of _________ are applied to improve ________ significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for behavior change. - ANSWERSbehavior socially ________________: The idea that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which all phenomena occur as a result of other events, or are systematically related to other factors, which are themselves physical phenomena amendabl...

conditioned punisher - ANSWERSA previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers. unconditioned punisher - ANSWERSA stimulus that, usually, is punishing without any prior learning. conditioned reinforcer - ANSWERSa stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties through prior learning Unconditioned Reinforcer - ANSWERSA stimulus that, usually, is reinforcing without any prior learning. Side effects of punishme...

Automatic Reinforcement - ANSWERSreinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others (often sensory). This is assumed when a behavior persists in the absence of any known reinforcement. Conditioned Reinforcer - ANSWERSa stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties through prior learning/species history. Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer - ANSWERSA conditioned reinforcer that as a result of having been paired with many other reinforcers does not depend on an establ...
