Q

Behavior

A

Behavior is everything that an organism does, the interaction of the muscles, glands, or other parts of a live organism with the environment.

Q

6 Critical Attributes of Behavior

A

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

Q

Behavior is a collective term

A

Behavior refers to more than one occurrence of a specific behavior (multiple responses)

20
Q

Property

A

A fundamental quality of a natural phenomenon

21
Q

Fundamental properties of behavior

A

Temporal Locus, Temporal Extent, and Repeatability

22
Q

Temporal Locus

A

A single response occurs in time; associated with latency

23
Q

Temporal Extent

A

A response occupies time; associated with duration

24
Q

Repeatability

A

A response can reoccur; associated with countability

25
Q

Dimensional quantities

A

A quantifiable aspect of property

26
Q

Latency

A

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

27
Q

Duration

A

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

28
Q

Countability

A

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

29
Q

IRT (Interresponse Time)

A

The time between two successive responses; associated with repeatability and temporal locus

30
Q

Rate

A

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

31
Q

Celeration

A

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

32
Q

Topography

A

Configuration, form, or shape of a response

33
Q

Function

A

The effects or results of a response on the environment

34
Q

Magnitude and Intensity

A

Topographical properties of a response class used to define behavior

35
Q

Response Class

A

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

36
Q

Topographical Response Class

A

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

37
Q

Functional Response Class

A

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

38
Q

Environment

A

The total constellation of stimuli and conditions that can affect behavior

39
Q

Environmental context

A

The set of circumstances in which behavior occurs at any given time

40
Q

Stimulus

A

A change in the environment, which can affect behavior

41
Q

Type of Human Receptors

A

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

42
Q

Antecedents and Consequences

A

Two general types of stimuli that are defined by their temporal relation to responses

43
Q

Antecedent

A

A stimulus that precedes (occurs before) a response

44
Q

Consequence

A

A stimulus that follows (occurs after) a response

45
Q

Stimulus class

A

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

46
Q

Functional relation

A

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

47
Q

4 Critical attributes of functional relations

A

Orderly relations between stimulus and response 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
