Anything an organism does, interacting with the environment, and sometimes effecting the environment.

A single instance of behavior. An action of an organism's effectors.

A group or set of responses that serve the same function/same impact on environment.

Physical shape or form of behavior.

All of the behaviors a person can do.

A full set of physical circumstances in which the organism exist.

An energy change that affects an organism through its receptor cells. A change in the environment that evokes a functional relation. A signal.

Sense organs that detect external stimuli.

Stimulus change within the bodies internal organs/nervous system (ex. - feeling a stomach ache)

Stimulus change within the body that enable kinesthetic and vestibular senses of movement and balance.

Any group of stimuli sharing a predetermined set of common elements/characteristics.

Formal Dimension of Stimuli

The dimension of stimuli that describes size, color, intensity, weight, and spatial position relative to other objects.

The dimension of stimuli that describes when the stimulus occurs in relation to a behavior. Across/Within time.

Stimuli that are described by their effects on behavior. Ex. Different music that makes you dance, stimuli that make you stop (stop sign, saying stop)

Asking a client to perform a task to assess whether they can perform the task.

Behavior that is ELICITED by antecedent stimuli. Induced or brought out by a stimulus that precedes the behavior.

Gradually diminishing the strength or magnitude of a response. Ex. At a party and a balloon pops, you jump. The more balloons that continue to pop, you no longer jump.

Respondent Conditioning

A learning process of when a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned or conditioned stimulus and acquired the properties of that stimulus needed to ELICIT behavior. US=UR (before), US+NS=UR (during), CS=CR (after)

Any behavior determined primarily by its history of consequences. Behavior that is selected, shaped, and maintained by the consequences that have followed it in the past.

The process and selective effects of consequences on behavior. These consequences effect the future probability of a behavior occurring or not occurring. They EVOKE a response. What we do in ABA.

Selection by consequences. Explanations of behavior based on the experiences of the organism.

A stimulus change that results in similar responses occurring more often. Increasing behavior.

Basic Concepts & Principals

Term	Definition
Behavior	Anything an organism does, interacting with the environment, and sometimes effecting the environment.
Response	A single instance of behavior. An action of an organism's effectors.
Response Classes	A group or set of responses that serve the same function/same impact on environment.
Response Topography	Physical shape or form of behavior.
Repertoire	All of the behaviors a person can do.
Environment	A full set of physical circumstances in which the organism exist.
Stimulus	An energy change that affects an organism through its receptor cells. A change in the environment that evokes a functional relation. A signal.
Exteroceptors	Sense organs that detect external stimuli.
Interoceptors	Stimulus change within the bodies internal organs/nervous system (ex. - feeling a stomach ache)
Proprioceptors	Stimulus change within the body that enable kinesthetic and vestibular senses of movement and balance.
Stimulus Class	Any group of stimuli sharing a predetermined set of common elements/characteristics.
Formal Dimension of Stimuli	The dimension of stimuli that describes size, color, intensity, weight, and spatial position relative to other objects.
Temporal	The dimension of stimuli that describes when the stimulus occurs in relation to a behavior. Across/Within time.
Functional	Stimuli that are described by their effects on behavior. Ex. Different music that makes you dance, stimuli that make you stop (stop sign, saying stop)
Probing	Asking a client to perform a task to assess whether they can perform the task.
Respondent Behavior	Behavior that is ELICITED by antecedent stimuli. Induced or brought out by a stimulus that precedes the behavior.
Habituation	Gradually diminishing the strength or magnitude of a response. Ex. At a party and a balloon pops, you jump. The more balloons that continue to pop, you no longer jump.
Respondent Conditioning	A learning process of when a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned or conditioned stimulus and acquired the properties of that stimulus needed to ELICIT behavior. US=UR (before), US+NS=UR (during), CS=CR (after)
Operant Behavior	Any behavior determined primarily by its history of consequences. Behavior that is selected, shaped, and maintained by the consequences that have followed it in the past.
Operant Conditioning	The process and selective effects of consequences on behavior. These consequences effect the future probability of a behavior occurring or not occurring. They EVOKE a response. What we do in ABA.
Selectionism	Selection by consequences. Explanations of behavior based on the experiences of the organism.
Reinforcement	A stimulus change that results in similar responses occurring more often. Increasing behavior.
Positive Reinforcement
Negative Reinforcement
