| Determinism | The assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena occur in relation to other events and not in an accidental fashion. |
| Functional relation | A relation present when the value of one variable lawfully affects the value of another variable. |
| Generality | ABA produces behavior change that lasts over time, settings, situations, and individuals |
| The history of the development of an individual organism during its lifetime. | |
| Phylogeny | The history of the natural evolution of the species. |
| Selection by Consequences | all forms of operant behavior are selected and maintained by their consequences during an individual’s lifetime |

| Environment | The total constellation of stimuli which can affect behavior |
| History of reinforcement | An inclusive term referring to a person’s learning experiences and past conditioning |

| Reflex | An unlearned stimulus-response relation. |
| Conditioned stimulus (CS) | A stimulus that elicits a conditional response because of respondent conditioning |
| Neutral stimulus (NS) | A stimulus that does not elicit a conditional response in the absence of a learning history |
| Respondent conditioning | A stimulus-stimulus pairing procedure in which a NS is presented with an US until the neutral becomes a CS that elicits the CR |
| Habituation | The waning of responsiveness to a US that is repeatedly presented |
| Respondent extinction | Repeatedly presenting a CS not accompanied by an US, which causes CR to cease occurring |
| Unconditioned response (UR) | A response elicited by an US |
| Unconditioned stimulus (US) | A biologically based stimulus that elicits an unlearned UR |
| Higher-order conditioning | Respondent conditioning in which a NS is paired with a CS, not an US |
| Extinction | Behavior is reduced by failing to reinforce a previously reinforced response. |
| Extinction burst | |
| Resistance to extinction | |
| Spontaneous recovery | |
| Negative reinforcement | |
