Definition
| The degree to which two or more independent observers report the same observed values after measuring the same events. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The extent to which observed values match the true state of the event as it exists in nature. |

Term
| Single-Stimulus Preference Assessment |
|
Definition
| Across a series of trials, stimuli are presented one at a time. Approach responses are recorded. Preference hierarchies are established by calculating the percentage of approach responses per stimulus. |
|
|
Term
| Paired-Stimulus Preference Assessment |
|
Definition
| Across a series of trials, stimuli are presented two at a time; individuals can approach only one item on a trial. Approach responses are recorded. Preference hierarchies are established by calculating the percentage of approach responses per stimulus. |
|
|
Term
| Multiple-Stimulus-Without-Replacement |
|
Definition
| At the start of each session, multiple stimuli are placed in front of the individual, who select one. Approach responses are recorded. The selected item is not replaced, and the positions of the remaining stimuli are changed. Then, the individual selects from the remaining items. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Multiple stimuli are placed on a tabletop, and participants are free to engage with any of the items for 5 min. Duration of engagement with each object is measured. |

Term
|
Definition
| The study of language, usually divided into the topics of syntax or grammatical structure, semantics or meaning, and the functions of language. |

Definition
| Considers events "within the skin" to be an environmental context, and worthy of considering as a context for behavioral. |
|
|
Term
| Methodological Behaviorism |
|
Definition
| Rejects anything that is not observable, and considers events "within the skin" to be outside the realm of behaviorism. |

Definition
| IV is the variable being manipulated and the DV is the behavior that varies depended on the manipulation of the IV. Level is the mean of the y-axis. Trend is the overall direction of the data path. Variability is the range of the y-axis values. |
