What is Behavior?

In today’s episode I review behavior, what it is, and how to determine what qualifies as behavior by using the “dead man’s test”. I review the different ways to describe behavior, and finally, distinguish between respondent and operant behavior.

I gathered most of the information for today’s episode from:

Cooper, J.O., Heron, T.E., Heward, W.L. (2007). Applied behavior analysis (2nd Ed.). Upper Saddle, New Jersey: Pearson.

Here is a link to their newest edition: https://www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Cooper-Applied-Behavior-Analysis-3rd-Edition/PGM1784647.html

Also apologies for the terrible audio / background noise in some of the parts of today's episode...I'm new to this whole podcasting thing, okay?! :)
