Cooper Chapter 20 - Engineering Emergent Ltance and commitment therapy - answerAn evidenced-based behavior therapy focusing on general well-being, defined as making reliable contact with high-priority positive reinforcers. Arbitrary Applicable Relational Responding (AARR) - answerForming new stimulus classes with little or no reinforced practice. arbitrary relations - answerStimuli to which people respond in interlocked ways, not because of physical similarity, but because social-verbal reinforcement contingencies teach people to respond to them in this way. behavioral inflexibility - answerAn insensitivity to external stimuli occurring when private events interfere with well-being behavior on which high-priority positive reinforcers are contingent. causal relations - answerIf-then relationships (if A, then B; if B, then C) that are a central feature of understanding and doing science. With respect to stimulus relations, causal relations can define the structure of a stimulus class or define the behavior function through which stimuli in a class are transformed. combinatorial entailment - answerA relation involving two stimuli that both participate in mutual entailment with some common third stimulus. contextual stimulus - answerSignals the type of relational responding that will be reinforced. deictic relations - answerA relation between the self, as one stimulus, and other stimuli from the external world. derived stimulus relations - answerResponding indicating a relation (same as, opposite, different from, better than) between two or more stimuli that emerges as an indirect function of related instruction or experience. Also called emergent stimulus relations. distinction relation - answerResponding jointly to two stimuli on the basis of their differences. hierarchical relations - answerA nested stimulus relation in which a category, subsuming multiple stimuli, is itself a member of a higher-order category subsuming multiple stimuli.
