Document Summary
Chapter 1: distinguish between covert and overt behaviour. Give an example of each that is not in this chapter. A covert behaviour preforms private and internal activities that cannot be readily monitored by observers. A behavioural deficit is a lack of a particular type of behaviour. An example would be a basketball player that never does his warm ups which include running and man makers but yet always participates in scrimmage and games. Give two sport examples that are not in this chapter. A behavioural excess is an excessive amount of a particular behaviour. An example would be a soccer player continuously coming late to each and every practice. Give three sport examples that are not in this chapter. This book defines stimuli to be the antecedents and consequences that are typically manipulated (martin, 2015). Stimuli are the specific physical variables in one"s immediate surroundings that impinge on one"s sense receptors and that can affect behaviour.
