Applied Behavior Analysis - A term often used interchangeably with the term
Behavior Modification; it involves analyzing and modifying human behavior.
Behavior - The subject matter of behavior modification. Behavior is what a person
says or does; it involves a person's actions.
Behavior Modification - The field of psychology concerned with analyzing and
modifying human behavior (also called Applied Behavior Analysis).
Behavioral Deficit - A desirable target behavior that a person seeks to increase in
frequency, duration, or intensity.
Behavioral Excess - An undesirable target behavior that a person seeks to decrease
in frequency, duration, or intensity.
Controlling Variable - The environmental events (antecedents and consequences)
that influence the probability of a particular behavior. The controlling variables are
the antecedents and consequences that are functionally related to the behavior.
Covert Behaviors - Behavior that is not observable to others. Covert behaviors are
also called "private events".
Dimensions - An aspect of the behavior that can be measured and modified.
Relevant dimensions may include frequency, duration, intensity, and latency.
Duration - A dimension of behavior, specifically the time from the onset of the
behavior to the offset of the behavior. Duration is how long an instance of the
behavior lasts.
Experimental Analysis of Behavior - The scientific study of behavior and the types of
environmental events that are functionally related to the occurrence of behavior.
Involves laboratory research with nonhumans and humans.
Frequency - A dimension of behavior - specifically, the number of times a behavior
occurs in a specific time period. The number of responses (frequency) divided by the
time equals the rate of the behavior.
Intensity - A dimension of behavior, specifically the physical force or magnitude of
the behavior. Often measured with a recording instrument or on a rating scale.
Latency - A dimension of behavior, specifically the time from some stimulus to the
onset of the behavior.
