Q

Behavior according to Pennypacker

A

Portion of the organism’s interaction with the environment characterized by detectable displacement in space through time of some part of the organism and that results in a measurable change in at least one aspect of the environment

Q

Bx that cannot be observed by others and only accessible to the organism who is engaging in the private event

A

Rate

22
Q

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

A

Celeration

23
Q

Fundamental datum in the study of operant bx

A

Rate

24
Q

Configuration, form, or shape of a response; the exact form, configuration, or shape of the response, the appearance of the response, the force involved, and the actual movements involved

A

Topography

25
Q

The effects or results of a response on the environment

A

Function

26
Q

Topographical properties of a response class

A

Magnitude and intensity

27
Q

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

A

Response class

28
Q

Types of Response Class

A

Topographical Response Class

Functional Response Class

29
Q

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

A

Topographical Response Class

30
Q

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

A

Functional Response Class

31
Q

The total constellation of stimuli and conditions which can affect bx; any physical events that is not part of a bx and may include other parts of the organism

A

Environment

32
Q

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

A

Environmental Context

33
Q

A change in the environment which can affect behavior; an environmental event

A

Stimuli

34
Q

An energy change that affects an organism through its receptors

A

Stimulus according to Jack Michael

35
Q

Classifying Stimuli

A

Physical characteristics
Temporal relation to responses
Effect on bx
Effects on other stimuli

36
Q

Two type of stimuli based on temporal relation to responses

A

Antecedent

Consequence

37
Q

A stimulus which precedes or occurs before a response

A

Antecedent

38
Q

A stimulus which follows or occurs after a response

A

Consequence

39
Q

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

A

Stimulus Class

40
Q

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

A

Functional Relations

41
Q

Critical Attributes of Functional Relations

A
  1. Orderly relations exist between two classes of events
  2. Changes in IV result in changes in DV.
  3. Value of behavioral dimensions change in an orderly fashion.
  4. Fx relations must be demonstrated through systematic manipulations.
