Behavior: is anything that a person says or does. Technically, behavior is any muscular, glandular, or electrical activity of an organism. Products of behavior e(cid:454)a(cid:373)ple: the (cid:271)eha(cid:448)io(cid:396) that p(cid:396)odu(cid:272)es a(cid:374) (cid:862)a(cid:863) is stud(cid:455)i(cid:374)g effectively. The behaviors that lead to weight loss are resisting overeating and exercising more. However, in the field of behavior modification, private or covert behaviors do not t(cid:455)pi(cid:272)all(cid:455) (cid:396)efe(cid:396) to (cid:271)eha(cid:448)io(cid:396)s do(cid:374)e i(cid:374) p(cid:396)i(cid:448)ate, su(cid:272)h as u(cid:374)d(cid:396)essi(cid:374)g i(cid:374) o(cid:374)e"s (cid:271)ed(cid:396)oo(cid:373) (cid:449)ith the door locked and the blinds closed. Rather, in behavior modification they more commonly refer to activities that occur (cid:862)(cid:449)ithi(cid:374) o(cid:374)e"s ski(cid:374)(cid:863) a(cid:374)d that the(cid:396)efo(cid:396)e (cid:396)e(cid:395)ui(cid:396)e spe(cid:272)ial i(cid:374)st(cid:396)u(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts o(cid:396) p(cid:396)o(cid:272)edu(cid:396)es fo(cid:396) others to observe. Sometimes we think in words, called private self-talk (e. g. , figure skater thinking before she goes o(cid:374) (cid:862)i hope i do(cid:374)"t fall(cid:863)(cid:895) At other times we think by imagining. Imagining and private self-talk, in addition to being called covert behaviors, are sometimes referred to as cognitive behaviors.
