| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Behavior Analysis | A natural science that studies functional relations between behavior & environment |
| Behavior | Movement of an organisms parts & it's interactions with the environment -biological -involves movement -living organisms observed -measurable -interacts with environment |
| Public Behavior | Behavior that can be observed by others ex-closing a door |
| Private Behavior | Behavior that can not be observed by others ex-imagining, thinking |
| Response | A specific instance of behavior ex- every time the bell is tapped |
| Topography | Configuration, form or shape of a response (force, movement, sound, intensity, magnitude) |
| Antecedent | A stimulus which occurs before a response. An environmental event before a response. |
| Stimulus | Change in the environment which can affect behavior. An environmental event. Onset/offset Magnification/Attentuation Affects an organisms receptors |
| Consequence | A stimulus which follows occurs after a response. |
| Functional Response Class | 2 or more topographically different responses, same effect on the environment ex-signing drink, using PECS for drink Looks different, same function |
| Response Class | Grouping of individual actions or responses that share commonalities ex- a hunk of cheese |
| Stimulus Class | A group of stimuli that share certain characteristics. Have similar effects on behavior |
| Topographical Response Class | 2 or more responses that share a common form. Look the same, different function |
| Pavlov | Discovered conditioned reflex/physiologist |
| Function | The effect of a response on the environment |
| Functional Relations | Manipulating the environment and behavior through systematic manipulations |
| Environment | Total constellation of stimuli and conditions which can affect behavior |
| Environmental Context | The situation in which behavior occurs at any given time |
| Response Cycle | Beginning, Middle, End of a response. ex- face slapping |
| 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 responses over some period of time. |
| Celeration | Change in one of the other dimensional quantities of behavior over time. |
