    Study Notes

    Response Class

    • Defined as a set of behaviors influenced by the same outcome or consequence.
    • Behaviors within a response class are either reinforced or diminished based on shared results.

    Stimulus Class

    • Comprises at least two stimuli sharing a commonality.
    • Can be identified using three main criteria: functional, formal, or temporary classifications.

    Functional Definition

    • All stimuli within a class impact behavior in a similar manner.
    • Reflects the functional relationships between stimuli and resulting behaviors.

    Formal Definition

    • Stimuli in a class share identical physical characteristics.
    • Emphasizes the sensory attributes that classify stimuli together.

    Temporary Definition

    • Stimuli within a class are distinguished by their roles as either antecedent (preceding) or postcedent (following).
    • Focuses on the timing and sequence of stimuli in relation to behavior.
