What are the 3 body systems impacted by stimuli?
Proprioceptors, interoceptors, and exteroceptors
What do proprioceptors do?
receive stimulation from joints, tendons, muscles, etc.
You feel dizzy after a rollercoaster, which body system has been impacted by stimuli?
Proprioceptors
What do interoceptors do?
Receive stimulation from organs

Interoceptors
What do exteroceptors do?
Receive stimulation through your 5 senses
You are tasting peanut butter Oreo ice cream from the chief, which body system has been impacted by stimuli?
Exteroceptors
Which body system effected by stimuli is most studied by behavior analysts?
Exteroceptors
When do stimuli occur?
Before, during, or after a behavior
A group of antecedent or simultaneous stimuli that have a common effect on an operant class is what?
A stimulus class
What are the 3 types of stimulus classes?
Formal, temporal, and functional
Stimuli that share physical features/topographies are part of the ______ stimulus class.
Formal
Size, color, request from parents, bad odor, locked door and spatial positions in relation to other objects are examples of which stimulus class?
Formal
Which stimulus class is related to time?
Temporal
Antecedents and consequences fall under the _______ stimulus class
Temporal
What are antecedents?
Stimulus changes that exist/occur before a behavior of interest
Stimulus changes that occur after a behavior of interest are called _______
Consequences
What 2 types of stimuli determine what is learned?
Antecedent and consequent
The effect of the stimulus on the behavior relates to the _________ stimulus class
Functional
What are characteristics of stimuli that fall into the functional stimulus class?
-Stimulus changes that are defined by a functional analysis of their effects on behavior
-A single stimulus that has multiple functions
Stimuli that can have either an immediate, but temporary effect on behavior or delayed, yet long-term effect fall under what stimulus class?
Functional
If eating Panda Express gives you a tummy ache, then you may avoid eating there in the future. What class does the stimulus fall under?
Functional
Stimulus can also be broken into 2 classes; these include _______ and __________ class.
Feature stimulus and arbitrary stimulus

Feature
Stimulus in which class can share common topographies and common relative relations?
Feature
This stimulus class can have an infinite # of stimuli and is created by stimulus generalization
Feature

Arbitrary
What are the 2 primary types of behavior?
Respondent and Operant
50%, 1/2, 0.5, and half are examples of the ______ stimulus class
Arbitrary
This stimulus class has a limited # of stimuli and is created by stimulus equivalence
Arbitrary
Respondent behavior is
Involuntary, product of genetics/evolution, rarely changing throughout life
__________ behavior is elicited by antecedents.
Respondent
Geneticall-inherited behavior ; respondent behavior due to history
Phylogenic/Phylogeny
Habituation
when the unconditioned stimlus is presented repeatedly over a short period of time, the strength of the respondent behavior diminishes
Andrea gags when she deep throats your cock is an example of what behavior?
Respondent
Who discovered respondent conditioning?
Ivan Pavlov
Respondent conditioning
When neutral stimuli achieve the capacity to elicit respondent behaviors typically elicited by specific unconditioned stimuli
Conditioning =
Pairing
Humans develop novel stimulus-response combos through what?
Respondent conditioning
