A single instance or occurrence of a specific class or type of behavior.

A single instance or occurrence of a specific class or type of behavior.

• A. Response
• B. Repertoire
• C. Replication
• D. Response Generalization

Answer: (A)

A single emission of a behavior is called a response. In ABA, a response is one instance of a behavior from a particular class or type. The term repertoire refers to the entire set of behaviors a person can produce in a given domain, not just one occurrence. Replication means copying another person’s behavior. Response generalization describes when a learned response appears in new but related situations or contexts without being directly trained. So, the described unit—one instance of a specific behavior—is a response.
