Q

What is a response?

A

single occurrence of behavior

The measurable unit of behavior in analysis.

2
Q

What is behavior?

A

the larger set or class of responses that have the same physical dimensions (e.g. hand flapping) or function (i.e. studying)

3
Q

Define a response class….

A

behaviors in a group with the same function (e.g compromises the operant).

4
Q

What does repertoire mean? ( 2 meanings)

A
  1. everything (all behaviors) that an individual can do. 2. collection of knowledge & skills that an individual has learned relevant to a particular task.
5
Q

A

setting everything except the moving parts of a organism involved in the behavior. all behaviors occur within a environmental context.

6
Q

What is stimuli?

A

internal or external to the individual stimulus is an physical change that affects an individual through the receptor cells. stimuli can occur prior to, during or after a behavior.

7
Q

Name the 3 types of nervous systems? Hint: PIE

A
  1. Proprioceptive 2. Interoceptive 3. Exteroceptive
8
Q

What is Proprioceptive? (1 of 3 nervous systems)

A

Coordination Balance & Movement stimulation from joints, tendons, muscles. Ex. roller coaster ride an feeling dizzy.

9
Q

What is interoceptive? (2 of 3 nervous systems)

A

12
Q

What are the 3 types of stimulus classes?

Hint: FTF

A

Formal

Temporal

Functional

13
Q

Formal (1 of 3 stimulus classes)

A

the description of the physical features of the stimuli (e.g. topography).

Ex. size, color, weight, spatial prepositions

14
Q

Temporal (2 of 3 stimulus classes)

A

Temp = Time

the stimulus changes that once existed prior (i.e. antecedent) to the behavior & then the changes that occur after (i.e. consequences) the behavior of interest.

15
Q

Functional (3 of 3 stimulus classes)

A
