Dinsmoor, J. A. (2004) The etymology of basic concepts in the experimental analysis of behavior. Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 82, 311-316. The origins of many of the basic concepts used in the experimental analysis of behavior can be traced to Pavlov’s (1927/1960) discussion of unconditional and conditional reflexes in the dog, but often with substantial changes in meaning (e.g. stimulus, response, and reinforcement) Other te
