Identifying environmental influences on behavior.

Cognition is not a principle of behavior analysis.

Positive reinforcement involves presenting a desirable stimulus to increase behavior likelihood.

Extinction describes the gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response.

The term for gradually reducing behavior frequency through withholding reinforcement is 'Extinction'.

Reinforcing behaviors resembling the desired behavior.

Negative punishment involves removing a reinforcer to decrease behavior.

A token economy is an example of a behavior modification technique.

ABC stands for Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence.

Continuous reinforcement provides reinforcement every time the behavior occurs.

A systematic assessment of antecedents and consequences influencing behavior.

A discriminative stimulus signals reinforcement availability for a specific behavior.

'Chaining' involves breaking down complex behaviors into manageable steps.

'Response generalization' is the tendency for behavior to occur in new situations or similar stimuli.

A functional assessment determines the underlying cause or purpose of a behavior.
