Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments02:46

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

52.0K
Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

What is Behavior?00:54

What is Behavior?

10.3K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Behaviorism

4.8K
The field of behaviorism was pioneered by figures such as Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner fundamentally shifted the focus of psychology to the observable and controllable aspects of human and animal behavior. This shift marked a critical evolution in the discipline, emphasizing scientific rigor and experimental methodology.
The core premise of behaviorism is its focus on observable behavior rather than internal thoughts or feelings. This approach argues that true scientific...

Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

579
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Electron Behavior01:09

Electron Behavior

12.7K
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles attracted to and orbit around the positively-charged nucleus of an atom. They reside in spaces associated with energy levels called shells and are further organized into subshells and orbitals within each shell.
Electrons Orbit the Nucleus
Electrons are found in specific locations outside of the nucleus. The shell in which an electron resides indicates the general energy level of the electron: those closer to the nucleus have less energy,...

Area of Science:

  • Behavior Analysis
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Recent years have seen a significant increase in demand for behavior-analytic services.
  • This surge has prompted the establishment of numerous new graduate training programs in behavior analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify frequently assigned readings from behavior-analytic graduate training programs.
  • To focus on programs demonstrating high pass rates on the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) examination.
  • To categorize these readings by curriculum area for resource development.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of course syllabi from behavior-analytic graduate programs.
  • Selection of programs with the highest Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) examination pass rates.
  • Categorization of identified readings into key curriculum areas.

Main Results:

  • Identification of core readings frequently assigned in high-performing behavior analysis programs.
  • Categorization of readings across essential curriculum areas such as ethics, behaviorism, and research methodology.
  • Compilation of a resource list based on syllabi analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a valuable resource for developing new behavior-analytic training programs.
  • The identified readings can guide curriculum design and support language translation initiatives.
  • This resource aims to enhance the quality and accessibility of behavior-analytic education.
