RBT Module 3 Flashcards
Two broad categories of stimuli in relation to time
1) Antecedents
2) Consequences
Three criteria for operational definitions
1) Clear
2) Objective
3) Precise and Complete
Three defining characteristics of behavior
1) Involves movement

A stimulus that always comes after the response
Consequence

Contiguity
Dependency between events. Can often be stated as an “if-then” or “when then” statement
Contingency
Reinforcers are defined by their (3 words)
Effect on behavior
