Applied Behavior Analysis Terms & Definitions

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

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.
