ABA503 Chp 2 TAFMEDS
Most basic SSD, where baseline levels are established, treatment is introduced, followed by a
return to baseline, and finally reintroduction of treatment - ANS-ABAB reversal design
All of the stimuli (including events) that affect the behavior of an organism, including those inside

Schedule controlled behavior that is stable and does not change over time - ANS-Steady state
performance
Any change in the environment that increases the effectives of some stimulus or event as
reinforcement and simultaneously increases the momentary frequency of the behavior that has
been followed by that reinforcement - ANS-Establishing operation
The reinforcement contingencies an organism has been exposed to during its lifetime including
changes in behavior due to such exposure - ANS-History of reinforcement
A behavior that operates on the environment to produce a change, effect, or consequence -
ANS-Operant
When an experimental result is observed in different environments, organisms, and across time
- ANS-Generality
Any event that alters the reinforcement effectiveness behavioral consequences and changes the
frequency of behavior maintained by those consequences - ANS-Motivating operation
When a stimulus follows a response and increases its frequency - ANS-Reinforcement function
