Reflexivity - ANS-A type of stimuli-to-stimulus relation in which the learner, without any prior training or
reinforcement, selects a stimulus that is the same as the sample.
A=A, B=B, and C=C

Mand Training - ANS-Involves bringing verbal responses under the functional control of MOs.
Tact Training - ANS-Teaching a child to comment on the environment around them. A verbal operant
that is controlled by a nonverbal antecedent and followed by a nonspecific consequence.
,Intraverbal Training - ANS-Involves bringing verbal responses under the functional control of verbal SDs
that lack point-to-point correspondence with the response.
Symmetry - ANS-A type of stimuli-to-stimulus relation in which the learner, without prior training or
reinforcement, demonstrates the reversibility of the sample stimulus and the comparison stimulus.
A=B, then B=A, or A=C, then C=A
Transitivity - ANS-Describes the stimulus-stimulus relations that emerge as a product of training two
other stimulus-stimulus relations.
If A=B and A=C, then B=C
Stimulus equivalence - ANS-Describes a behavior analytic approach to understanding and establishing
symbolic function.
Generativity - ANS-The ability to create and understand an infinite number of meaningful sentences and
utterances.
Relational Frame Theory (RTF) - ANS-A theory of derived stimulus relations proposing that such relations
are inherently verbal and that the accumulated experience with relational exemplars creates
generalized repertoires of relating.
derived stimulus relation - ANS-The relation between two or more stimuli that is not directly trained or
taught and is not based solely on the physical properties of the stimuli.
Conditional Discrimination - ANS-Performance in a match-to-sample procedure in which discrimination
between the comparison stimuli is conditional on, or depends on, the sample stimulus present on each
trial.
Conditional Discrimination 4-term contingency - ANS-- sample stimulus (antecedent stimulus)
- correct comparison (antecedent stimulus)
- selection response
- reinforcer
, equivalence test - ANS-A probe for the emergence of untrained stimulus-stimulus relations that
evaluates both symmetry and transitivity simultaneously.
Mutual Entailment - ANS-A relation in one direction between two stimuli (e.g., A to B) entails a relation
in the other direction (e.g., B to A)
(symmetry)
if you are told that A = B, you can derive that B = A. That is, the specified A = B relation mutually entails
the (symmetrical) B = A relation.
Combinatory Entailment - ANS-A derived stimulus relation in which two or more stimulus relations
(trained or derived) mutually combine.
(transitivity)
if A is related to B and A is related to C, then B and C are mutually related in that context.
Class merger - ANS-Independent equivalence classes are combined as the result of teaching a new but
interrelated conditional discrimination.
Class expansion - ANS-A new member is added to a demonstrated stimulus equivalence class as the
result of teaching a new conditional discrimination.
Equivalence Class - ANS-The collection of stimuli that evoke the same behavior.
Arbitrary stimulus class - ANS-Stimuli that evoke the same response, but they do NOT share a common
stimulus feature. They do not physically look alike or share a relative relationship.
LIMITED number of stimuli
Developed through stimulus equivalence.
Equivalence Relations - ANS-Relations that are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
