What was the “bad news” that Jack Michael discussed in his presidential
address at ABAI in 1980?
(Select all that apply)

Behavior Analysis is becoming less analytic.

Behavior Analysis is becoming less behavioral.

Behavior Analysis is a stagnant science.

Behavior Analysis is growing too rapidly.
Question 2 1
/ 1 pts
What does Baer think about Michael’s “bad news”?

Baer thinks the “bad news” is actually good news.

Baer thinks the “bad news” is terrible.

Baer agrees that it is bad news.

Baer does not think the “bad news” is accurate.
Question 3 1
/ 1 pts
In the example Baer gives about the photographer and the physics
professor, what was needed for good photographs to be taken?

an understanding of physics and optics

an analysis of the inner workings of a camera

skill with a camera

experience with photography
Question 4 1
/ 1 pts
In the example with the doctor who treated his daughter, Baer indicates
the doctor was non-analytical, standard, routine, packaged, and empirical
as well as:

wrong

dangerous

inefficient

effective
Question 5 1
/ 1 pts
In discussing the training of doctors, Baer indicates that it would be better

for the doctors to have which of these qualities rather than be analytic?

pragmatic

routinized

skillful

willing to try again
Question 6 1
/ 1 pts
Why is it good that applied people are mostly new to the field?

Basic researchers aren’t trained to do applied work.

Basic researchers may want to focus on learning why behavior works the
way it does instead of on doing good.

They want to take what is known about behavior and do good with it.

They won’t have as many biases.
Question 7 1
/ 1 pts
What basic principle do applied people heavily focus on using?

behavior skills training

positive reinforcement

stimulus control

schedules of reinforcement
Partial
Question 8 0.67
/ 1 pts
What are people trying to accomplish with positive reinforcement that Baer
thinks is good news?

publish the results of how they use and implement positive reinforcement

implement positive reinforcement in every real-world situation they can

collect the procedures necessary to apply positive reinforcement in
different situations

understand how it works
Partial
Question 9 0.5
/ 1 pts
Because applied people may not be applying new basic findings, what
does Baer suggest as a solution?

The basic researchers should take some time to apply their procedures
and publish the results.

Encourage applied people to stay informed about new basic procedures
so they can apply them.

The applied people need to work harder to apply basic findings.

The basic researchers should follow Sidman’s example.
Question 10 1
/ 1 pts
Michael’s third criticism was that applied people do not relate their
independent variables to basic behavioral concepts. How does Baer
refute this?

Often the applied people are just trying to implement reinforcement and
assume that is obvious.

Usually only the simplest, already validated behavior analytic procedures
are being used to solve applied problems.

The applied people are more interested in whether the techniques and
procedures they are using work than determining which procedure it is.

The applied people’s focus is determining new ways to implement the
basic procedures.
Partial
Question 11 0.5
/ 1 pts
Why does Baer think it’s good that the applied people are doing good
(collecting procedures) instead of focusing on the behavioralization of our
culture?

He is not convinced that doing good will result from everyone having a
behavioral outlook.

Doing good is more important than the behavioralization of our culture.

The applied people’s work furthers the possibility of systematically doing
good.

The behavioralization of our culture is really the same thing as doing
good.
Incorrect
Question 12 0
/ 1 pts
What does Baer say about the market with relation to behavior analysis?

It’s very hard to market applied behavior analysis or behavior analysis.

Applied behavior analysis and behavior analysis appeal to two different
markets.

He says we shouldn’t be concerned about the marketability of either
behavior analysis or applied behavior analysis.

He agrees with Michael that applied behavior analysis can be sold better
than behavior analysis.
Partial
Question 13 0.67
/ 1 pts
If applied behavior analysis were a self-contained discipline, separate

from behavior analysis, what are some things we might need to consider?

Applied behavior analysis uses very different methods from behavior
analysis so perhaps they should be left to have their own discipline.

Whether the effective procedure collecting practiced by applied behavior
analysists along with their self-sufficient research methodology would
allow the induction of principles of their interventions.

If principles were induced from applied procedures, would the analysis of
them by behavior analytic principles be worth the gain?

The need to train applied people well enough so that there are more
real-world successes than disasters.
Partial
Question 14 0.5
/ 1 pts
How does Baer summarize his reasons for believing that all of Michael’s
“bad news” is good news?

Both the behavior analysts and applied behavior analysts are doing good
and that is good news.

He thinks that anything people are doing to improve the world is good
news.

If the applied behavior analysts continue on, they are sure to fail which
will bring everyone back to a more analytic behavior analysis.

Whether or not the applied behavior analysts can continue to function
successfully without including thorough analysis as part of their discipline
is an interesting experimental question that is good to examine.
