Q

6 critical attributes of behavior

A

Behavior is a biological phenomenon, involves movement, can only be done by a living organism, observable, measurable, involves interaction with the environment.

16
Q

Temporal Locus

A

A single response occurs in time; associated with latency

17
Q

Temporal Extent

A

A response occupies time; associated with duration

18
Q

Repeatability

A

A response can reoccur; associated with countability

19
Q

Dimensional quantities

A

A quantifiable aspect of a property

20
Q

Latency

A

The amount of time between a stimulus and a response; associated with temporal locus

21
Q

Duration

A

The amount of time between the beginning and the end of the response cycle; associated with temporal extent

22
Q

Countability

A

The number of responses or number of cycles of the response class; associated with repeatability

23
Q

IRT(Interresponse Time)

A

The time betweentwo successive responses; associated with repeatability and temporal locus

24
Q

Rate

A

The ratio of the number of responses over some period of time; associated with repeatability and temporal locus

25
Q

Celeration

A

Change in one of the other dimensional quantities of behavior over time; associated with repeatability and temporal locus

26
Q

Topography

A

Configuration, form, or shape of a response

27
Q

Function

A

The effects or results of a responseon the environment

28
Q

Magnitude and Intensity

A

Topographical properties of a response class used to define behavior

29
Q

Response class

A

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

30
Q

Topographical Response Class

A

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

31
Q

Functional Response Class

A

A collection of twoormore topographically different responses that all have the same effect on the environment, usually producing a specific class ofreinforcers

32
Q

Environment

A

The total constellation of stimuli and conditions thatcan affect behavior

33
Q

Stimulus

A

A change in the environment, which can affect behavior

34
Q

Types of Human receptors

A

Vision, hearing, smell, taste, cutaneous sense, organic sense, kinesthesis, vestibular sense

35
Q

Stimulus class

A

A group of stimuli that share a certain characteristic (along formal, temporal, and/or functional dimensions)

36
Q

Functional relation

A

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

37
Q

4 critical attributes of functional relations

A

Orderly relations between stimulus andresponse classes, changes in one variable (IV) result in changes in the second variable (DV), value of the behavioral dimensions (DV) changes in an orderly fashion, functional relations demonstrated through systematic manipulations
