Behavior-altering effect
An effect of motivating operations that causes an in-the-moment increase or decrease in the current frequency of behavior that’s been reinforced by a specific stimulus.

B. Concepts and Principles
Behavioral momentum
The tendency for behavior to become more persistent (e.g., low-probability behaviors increase following a series of high-probability requests) following the delivery of reinforcement (e.g., a high-probability request sequence) in a
Chained schedules of reinforcement
A compound schedule of reinforcement in which a sequence of two or more signaled (SD) basic schedules of reinforcement must be met successively for the response to contact reinforcement.
Codic
Any verbal behavior that does not share formal similarity with its controlling stimulus but does share point-to-point correspondence (e.g., transcription).

Common bidirectional naming (C-BiN)
Both speaker behavior and listener responses are established for the same stimulus from training only either the speaker or the listener response (e.g., a client is taught to tact “dog”,
Concurrent schedules of reinforcement
A compound schedule of reinforcement in which clients choose between two or more behaviors associated with different signaled (SD) schedules of reinforcement that are correlated with each behavior option.
Conditioned motivating operation (CMO)
An MO that, due to learning history, changes the value of other stimuli, objects, or events, and creates an in-the-moment change in the frequency of any behavior associated with those

Conditioned punisher
A previously neutral stimulus that now functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishing stimuli.
Conditioned reinforcer
A previously neutral stimulus that acquires the ability to function as a reinforcer through a stimulus-stimulus pairing with one or more unconditioned or conditioned reinforcers.
Conditioned response/reflex (CR)
An unlearned, automatic response that is elicited by a previously neutral stimulus which has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus that typically elicits the response.
Conditioned stimulus (CS)
A formally neutral stimulus that has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus and as a result can elicit a reflexive behavior.
