Measures behavior through interviews and questionnaires.

Behavior is measured as it occurs in real-time.

Clients observe and record their own target behavior.

Precise and quantifiable description of a behavior's measurement.

Someone other than the individual records the behavior.

Recording behavior using devices like cameras or audio.

Tracking tangible outcomes as a result of behaviors.

Structured involves planned events; unstructured is spontaneous.

Document every instance of the target behavior during observation.

Document some occurrences of the target behavior, not all.

Record if the target behavior occurs within set time intervals.

Change in behavior due to being observed.

Degree to which two observers record the same behavior consistently.

Field of psychology focused on analyzing and changing behavior.

Scientific study aimed at changing specific behavioral patterns.

Actions defined through verbs, not static labels.

Includes frequency, duration, intensity, and latency.

Observable actions that can be seen by others.

Hidden internal actions that are not directly observable.

The specific behavior chosen for modification.

Undesirable behaviors that need to be reduced.

Desirable behaviors that need to be increased.

Responses followed by satisfying outcomes strengthen behavior.

Scientific study focused on observing and understanding behavior.

Measurement of target behaviors before, during, and after treatment.

Connections between environmental events and behavior.

Steps to alter behavior through reinforcement and punishment.

Focus on observable behaviors rather than internal thoughts.

Independent observers record the same behavior for accuracy.

A basic design with one baseline and one treatment phase.

Alternating between baseline and treatment to show cause of change.

Gradually applies treatment across different subjects at staggered times.

Gradually alters rules within the treatment to enhance target behavior.

Learning by watching others, often through vicarious experiences.

Stimulus that naturally triggers a response (e.g., food).

Natural reaction to an unconditioned stimulus (e.g., salivating at food).

Previously neutral stimulus that, after conditioning, evokes a response (e.g., bell).

Learned response to a conditioned stimulus (e.g., salivating at the sound of a bell).

Determining why a problem behavior occurs or desirable behavior does not occur.

A framework that includes antecedent, behavior, and consequence to understand behavior.

Stimuli that alter the current probability of a behavior occurring.

Reinforcers or punishers that strengthen or weaken a behavior's future occurrence.

Evaluating the context in which a behavior occurs, including timing and companionship.

Testing potential functions of behavior without prior knowledge of antecedents.

A process where repeated stimuli lead to a decreased response over time.

An increase in response strength to a repeated stimulus.

Stimuli that trigger an automatic response based on natural properties.

Behaviors developed through experience, differentiating from innate actions.
