ABA terms

TermDefinition
Stimulus A change in environment which can affect behavior.
Stimulus Class A group of stimuli that share specified common elements along formal, temporal, and/or functional dimensions.
Antecedent A stimulus which precedes, that is, occurs before a response.
Functional Relation Changes in an antecedent or consequent stimulus class consistently alter a dimension of a response class.
Response A specific instance of behavior.
Private Behavior Behavior that cannot be observed by others; it is only accessible to the organism who is engaging in the private event.
Consequence A stimulus which follows, that is, occurs after a response.
Temporal Locus A fundamental property (Quality) of behavior. A single response occurs in time.
Fundamental Properties Temporal Locus, Temporal Extent, and Repeatability are all part of this classification.
Function The effects or results of a response on the environment.
IRT (Inter Response Time) A dimensional quantity of behavior. The time between two successive responses.
Topography The configuration, form, or shape of a response.
Rate A dimensional quantity of behavior. The ratio of the number of responses over some period of time.
Behavior The interaction of the muscles, glands, or other parts of a live organism with the environment.
Duration A dimensional quantity of behavior. The amount of time between the beginning and the end of the response cycle.
Behavior Analysis A natural science that studies functional relations between behavior and environmental events.
Latency A dimensional quantity of behavior. The amount of time between a stimulus and a response.
Response Cycle The beginning, middle, and end of a response.
Environmental Context The situation (set of circumstances) in which behavior occurs at any given time.
Dimensional Quantities A quantifiable aspect of a property (latency, duration, countability, IRT, rate, celeration).
Environment The total constellation of stimuli and conditions which can affect behavior.
Countability A dimensional quantity of behavior. The number of responses or number of cycles of the response class.
Functional Response Class A collection of two or more topographically different responses that all have the same effect on the environment, usually producing a specific class of reinforcers.
Celeration A dimensional quantity of behavior. Change in one of the other dimensional quantities of behavior over time.
Topographical Response Class A collection of two or more responses which share a common form.
Public Behavior Behavior that can be observed by others, even though special instrumentation may be required at times.
Repeatability A fundamental property (quality) of behavior. A response can reoccur.
Response Class A grouping of individual actions or responses that share those commonalities included in the class definition.
Property A fundamental quality of a natural phenomenon.
Temporal Extent A fundamental property (quality) of behavior. A response occupies time.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
