Latency - ANSWERS-A behavior's latency is the length of time between
instructions to perform it and the occurrence of the behavior
,Topography - ANSWERS-The topography of behavior is the shape of the behavior
what it looks like
Force - ANSWERS-The force of a behavior is it intensity
Locus - ANSWERS-The locus of a behavior describes where it occurs either in the
environment or for example on the child or victims body
Piaget Cognitive Development - ANSWERS-States that children go through four

before the behavior. and what happens right after the behavior. It should also
