| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) | A model of professional decision-making in which practitioners integrate the best available evidence with client values/context and clinical expertise to provide services. |
| Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) | A scientific approach to behavior that seeks to discover all the variables of which the probability of response is a function, with a focus on rate of responding as the dependent variable. |
| Formal Properties (of stimuli) | Properties of stimuli that can be directly seen, heard, smelled, touched, or tasted (e.g., physical size, color). |
| Pseudoscience | Practices that appear scientific but lack key features of science, such as avoiding peer review, overusing ad hoc hypotheses to explain failures, over-relying on anecdotal evidence, and emphasizing confirmation over refutation. |
| Rate of Responding | A measure of the dependent variable in EAB, defined as the frequency of a specific, countable response over a period of time. |
| Relational Frame Theory (RFT) | A post-Skinnerian behavioral account of human language and cognition that posits its core is arbitrarily applicable derived relational responding. |
| Relational Responding | The process of discriminating relationships between stimuli, rather than just discriminating each individual stimulus. |
| Relational Frame | A shorthand term for the process of "relational framing." It is not a static structure but a way to "freeze frame" the dynamic process of relating events so it can be more easily analyzed and discussed. |
| Response Propositions | A component of Lang’s fear network model referring to "information about responding in this context, including expressive verbal behavior, overt acts, and the visceral and somatic events that mediate arousal and actions." |
