A one identify the goals of behavior analysis as a science, science, a systematic approach for seeking and organizing knowledge about the world. It aims to discover nature's truth about phenomena description, systematic observation of events that can be quantified, classified and examined for possible relations with other known facts. It enhances understanding of a given phenomenon by enabling scientists to describe it accurately and often suggests possible hypotheses or questions for additional research. I know what the behavior looks or sounds like, observe and describe with objective statements. Example, a friend calls you up and asks how your day was. You begin to describe to your friend that you had a terrible day, you woke up late, spilled your coffee all over your shirt and relate to work. You have provided your friend a quantifiable description of your terrible morning prediction. A K A correlation co variation repeated observations reveal that two events consistently co vary with each other. This correlation can be used to predict the relative probability that one event will occur based on the presence of another event. I know when the behavior will occur, it cannot demonstrate functional relations since no variables are manipulated. But can suggest the possibility of exploring casual relations. Prediction enables preparation. Example, you observe your neighbor collect the mail in their driveway every afternoon. You also observe that your neighbor carries an umbrella over their head. When it's raining, you can predict that your neighbor will have an umbrella each time it rains while they collect their mail. Example, during the winter, people get more colds. It's a prediction but not a guarantee or a cause. I can get a cold. Also during spring or summer control A K A causation, the ability to predict with a certain degree of confidence is the highest level of understanding a functional relationship exists. When the manipulation of an independent variable can produce a reliable change in a dependent variable that is unlikely the result of confounding variables. I can turn this behavior on and off. Like a faucet example. A client in a residential treatment facility engages in self injurious behavior and has been referred for a functional analysis. During the analysis. The client does not engage in self injury during the play control attention or tangible conditions during the demand condition. However, the client engages in self injury whenever they are presented with a demand, removing the demand consistently results in the termination of the self injurious behavior.
