Behavior Answer - Everything that a living organism does.
Deprivation state Answer - The person cannot have something that they want whenever they want it.
Three-Term Contingency (ABC) Answer - Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

(reinforcement or nonreinforcement) of a response.
Two reasons for behavior Answer - Escape and gain
Motivating operations MO Answer - An environmental variable that (a) alters (increases or decreases) the
reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event; and (b) alters (increases or decreases)
