An observable, measurable movement of some part of the body through space and time.

If a dead man cannot do it, it is behavior.

A specific instance of behavior.

"Action of an organism's effector".

A group of responses with the same function.

Each response produces the same effect on the enviroment.

R^1____S¹

R^2______S¹

R^3_________S¹

All of the behaviors that a person can do.

or

A set or collection of knowledge and skills a person has learned that are relevant to particular settings or task.

All the behavior an organism is capable of emitting on the basis of species and environmental history

A physical object or event that has an effect on the behavior of an individual. Stimuli may be internal (e.g., pressure, pain, covert statements) or external to the person. Stimuli that frequently are arranged in behavior analysis programs include reinforcing stimuli, aversive stimuli, and discriminative stimuli.

 To any group of stimuli sharing a predetermined set of common elements in one or more of those dimensions. Stimuli that vary across physical dimensions but have a common effect on behavior.

R^1_____S¹

R^2_____S¹

R^3_____S¹

A new stimulis elicting a response based on a history of association with a biologically important stimulus.

Pavlov Dogs

NS + US(metronome+food powder)_____UR (salivation)

Repeated

A stimulus that elicts the wanted response without pairing.

US(Food powder)_____UR (Salivation)

Stimulus that has no response from the organism.

NS(Metronome)______UR(Salivation)

The stimulus that can elicts the response from the organism after pairing.

Metronome sounds made the dogs salivate without food powder.

The organisms response to the conditioned stimulus after pairing

NS(metronome) turn into US_____UR (salivation)turns into CR

The procedure of repeatedly presenting a conditioned stimulus (CS) without the unconditioned stimulus (US) until the CS no longer elicits the conditioned response (CR)

CS(metronome)_____CR (salivation)

Reapted

CS(metronome)_____no response

The fundamental principle underlying operant conditioning; the basic tenet is that all forms of (operant) behavior, from simple to complex, are selected, shaped, and maintained by their consequences during an individual's life time.

 Darwin's concept of natural selection

Touch the stove___burn hand___doesnt touch stove again

The development or evolutionary history of a species.

Darwin's Theory

A stimulus change that increases the future frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it.

Occurs when a stimulus is applied changing the frequency of the behavior in the future. 

Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.

+stimulus___<Behavior

Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.

-Stimulu____>Behavior

A stimulus change or condition that functions

a). to evoque a behavior that has terminated in the past;

b). as a punisher when presented following behavior,

c). as a reinforcer when withdrawn following behavior.

An environmental variable that

a). alters (increases or decreases) the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event.

b). alters (increases or decreases) the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced or punished by that stimulus, object, or event.

The andecedent that has been pair to "trigger" a behavior.
