SET A+
✔✔Social Learning - ✔✔Passing of behavior from one person to another through
imitation and modeling
✔✔Private Events - ✔✔Describes behaviors that can only be observed and verified by
the individual performing the behavior
✔✔Public Event - ✔✔Describes an event observed by another person
✔✔Behavioral Analysis - ✔✔Study of observable and measurable variables
✔✔Behavioral Validity - ✔✔Interventions must be based on behavior principles with
empirical evidence supporting efficacy
✔✔Procedural Integrity - ✔✔Thorough and accurate description of procedures used in
interventions
✔✔Generality - ✔✔If a behavior lasts over time and appears in other environments, it is
said to have this
✔✔Social Significance - ✔✔Scientists and practitioners selecting behaviors for change
that are socially significant
✔✔What is the term for using single subject research designs to demonstrate a
functional relation or efficacy of an intervention? - ✔✔Effective?
✔✔What term describes improvement of behavior that is socially significant and based
on visual analysis of data? - ✔✔
, ✔✔What term indicates one event predicting the likelihood of another specific event,
such as between a behavior and its consequence? - ✔✔
✔✔What term refers to organisms learning through interactions with their environment,
including reinforcement? - ✔✔
✔✔What term describes organisms learning through association of a stimulus that
triggers an automatic response with a neutral stimulus? - ✔✔

behavior it follows? - ✔✔
✔✔What term refers to delivering something preferred to increase the future rate of the
behavior it follows? - ✔✔
✔✔What term refers to delivering something aversive to decrease the future rate of the
behavior it follows? - ✔✔
✔✔What Is Negative Reinforcement? - ✔✔The removal of something aversive that
increases the future rate of the behavior it follows.
✔✔What Is Negative Punishment? - ✔✔The removal of something preferred that
decreases the future rate of the behavior it follows.
✔✔What Is Social Operant Behavior? - ✔✔A type of operant behavior that requires
another person for its reinforcement, known as the listener.
✔✔What Is Internal Causality? - ✔✔The supposition that the origin of a person's
behavior lies within that person.
✔✔What Is Delay Discounting? - ✔✔A situation in which reinforcement for a short-term
maladaptive behavior is pitted against the promise of long-term reinforcement for good
behavior.
✔✔What Is Behavioral Flexibility? - ✔✔An organism's behavior changing with a change
in environmental variables or context.
