Scientific investigations can yield information regarding the three levels of understanding which are_______________ - answerDescription, prediction, and control
_______studies produce a collection of facts about the observed events that can be qualified, classified, and examined for possible relations to other known facts - answerScientific
When a systematic covariation occurs between two events, we are able to predict the probability that one event will occur in conjunction with the other event. This is called_______ - answerCorrelation
The highest level of scientific understanding is______ - answerControl
We specifically manipulate one event in order to produce a reliable change in another event and the change in the dependent variable is not likely due to extraneous factors or confounding variables. This relationship is called a_______________ - answerFunctional relation

When we apply an intervention we are manipulating the______ - answerIndependent variable
The change we see in the target behavior is known as the_______ - answerDependent variable
A________is demonstrated when we manipulate the independent variable and see a change in the dependent variable that is not likely due to confounding variables - answerFunctional relation
