Reflexivity
Refers to the trained response of matching a stimulus to an identical stimulus and then matching the two stimuli in reverse without additional training. (i.e., If A=A, then A=A)
Reinforcement
A stimulus change following a behavior leading to said behavior occurring more often or strengthening the duration, latency, magnitude, or topography of said behavior in the future.
Reinforcer assessment
A collection of assessment activities that test preferred stimuli to determine their effectiveness as reinforcers for specific target behaviors by measuring increases in target behaviors contingent on the immediate presentation

Reinstatement
When following a successful extinction procedure, the extinguished behavior reemerges because reinforcement for that behavior becomes available noncontingently.
Relational frame theory (RFT)
A behavior analytic approach to language which aims to connect and understand the relationship between language and derived stimulus relations. The theory hypothesizes that learned behavior is acquired through a
Relevance of behavior rule
A rule that the behavior change prioritized for treatment must be meaningful for the client and relevant individuals in the client’s life.
Reliability
Measurement is trustworthy when the degree to which repeating a measurement procedure under the same conditions produces the same result.
Renewal
When a behavior that was reduced or eliminated in one environment or context emerges in a new environment.
Repeated reversals design
A variation of the reversal design that includes replication, in which responding is reversed to a level obtained in a previous condition by alternating between specific independent variables and baseline
Repertoire
A person’s entire collection of learned skills and behaviors that are related to a specific task or setting.
