Question 1

Behavior analysis

Answer 1

A natural science that studies functional relations between behavior and environmental events

Question 2

Behavior

Answer 2

Behavior is everything that an organism does. The interaction of the muscles, glands, or other part of live organism with the environment.

Question 3

Public behavior

Answer 3

Behavior that can be observed by others, even though special instrument may be required at times. Example heartbeat

Question 4

Private behavior

Answer 4

Behavior that cannot be observed by others, it is only accessible to the organism who is engaging in the private event. Example thinking, feeling, sing, problem-solving.

Question 5

Response

Answer 5

A specific instance of behavior

Question 6

Response cycle

Answer 6

The beginning, middle, and end of a response.

Question 7

Property

Answer 7

A fundamental quality of a natural phenomenon.

Question 8

Fundamental properties of behavior

Answer 8

Temporal Locus
Temporal extent
Repeatability

Question 9

Temporal locus

Answer 9

A single response occurs in time.

Lantency

Question 10

Temporal extent

Answer 10

A response of occupies time. Duration

Question 11

Repeatability

Answer 11

A response can be reoccur.

Countability = Frequency

Question 12

Dimensional quantities

Answer 12

A quantifiable aspect of a property.

Question 13

Latency

Answer 13

The amount of the time between a stimulus and response.

Question 14

Duration

Answer 14

The amount of time between the beginning and the end of the response cycle

Question 15

Countability

Answer 15

The number of responses or number of cycles of the respond class.

Question 16

IRT

Inter-response time

Answer 16

The time between two successive responses.

Question 17

Rate

Answer 17

The ratio of the number of responses over some period of time.

Question 18

Celebration

Answer 18

Change in one of the other dimensional quantities of behavior over time.

Question 19

Topography

Answer 19

Configuration, form, or shape of response.

Question 20

Function

Answer 20

The effects or a results of a response on the environment.

Question 21

Response class

Answer 21

A grouping of individual actions or responses that shapes those commonalities included in the class definition.

Question 22

Topographical respond class

Answer 22

A collection of two or more responses which share a common form.

Question 23

Functional response class

Answer 23

A collection of two or more topographical different responses that all have to same effect on the environment, usually producing a specific class of reinforcers.

Question 24

Environment

Answer 24

The total constellation of Stimuli and conditions which can affect behavior.
Constellation - A group or cluster of related things

Question 25

Environmental context

Answer 25

Consistent of the situation ( set of circumstances) in which behavior occurs at any given time.

Question 26

Stimulus

Answer 26

A change in the environment which can affect behavior.

Question 27

Antecedent

Answer 27

A stimulus which precedes, that is, occurs before a response

Question 28

Consequence

Answer 28

A stimulus which follows, that is, occur after a response.

Question 29

Stimulus class

Answer 29

A group of stimuli that share specified common elements along formal, Temporal, and/or functional dimensions.

Question 30

Functional relation

Answer 30

Changes in an antecedent or consequent stimulus class consistently after a dimension of a response class.
