Response Patterns on Stimulus Events
Stimulus events can be discussed in terms of their features and relationships to behavior (physical, temporal, & functional). Changes in stimuli occur both as antecedent and consequence events, which affect an individual's response. Think about some of your own response patterns that occur. Within a specific example, identify a set of antecedent stimuli that would demonstrate a stimulus class that influences your response(s), clearly explaining what establishes those stimuli as a stimulus class. Next, discuss your current response(s) to that stimulus class that make up a functional or structural response. Are there other responses that would fit to create a response class? Finally, what specific environmental modifications could you make to alter the stimulus-response relationship?

Unit 2 Discussion
Over the years, there has been an increase in the study of stimuli and how they affect the individual’s behavior. In most instances, stimuli changes happen as an antecedent and consequence event (Couto et al., 2020). An antecedent is environmental conditions before the behavior happens. On the other hand, the behavior is referred to as the organization's interaction with the surroundings, including the movements of some organisms (Cooper et al., 2020). Finally, the consequence refers to the change after the targeted observed behavior.
I mostly try to be self-aware about my response pattern when exposed to various stimuli since it will likely help me function appropriately. Applied behavior analysis has played a huge role in transforming my life since I have understood my behavior and that of others around me. For example, an ABA understanding has made me succeed in accomplishing a series of educational goals while performing better in my occupation and being a healthy and presen...
