Answer Environmental conditions or stimulus changes that occur prior to the behavior
of interest
5. Antecedent stimulus class
Answer Stimuli that share a common relationship
6. Applied Behavioral Analysis
Answer The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are
applied to improve socially significant behavior and ex- perimentation is used to
identify the variables responsible for the improvement of the behavior.
7. Automatic reinforcement
Answer Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others
8. Automaticity of reinforcement
Answer Behavior is modified by it's consequences re- gardless of whether the
individual is aware of reinforcement
9. Aversive stimulus

Answer Stimulus conditions whose termination functions as rein- forcement
10. Avoidance Contingency
Answer A contingency in which a response prevents or post- pones the presentation
of a stimulus
11. Backup Reinforcer
Answer Reinforcers that can be purchased with tokens
12. Backward chaining
Answer A teaching procedure in which all behaviors are initially completed by the
trainer except for the final behavior in the chain.
13. Behavior
Answer The portion of an organism's interaction with its environment
14. Behavior chain
Answer Specific sequence of responses in which each response pro- duces a stimulus

the next response.
15. Behavior chain with limited hold
Answer A sequence of behaviors that must be performed correctly and within a
specified time to be reinforced.
16. Behavioral contract
Answer A document that specifies a contingent relationship be- tween the
completion of a specified behavior and access to a reinforcer.
17. Behavioral cusp
Answer A behavior that has sudden and dramatic consequences that extend beyond
the change because it exposes the person to new environments, reinforcers,
contingencies, responses and stimulus control
18. Behaviorism
Answer Philosophy of the science of behavior
