Welcome to Behavioral Intelligence con Mara Sánchez, a podcast created to help students understand the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and prepare for the BCBA Certification Exam – 6th Edition.

In this episode we continue Domain B – Concepts and Principles of Behavior Analysis from the BACB Test Content Outline.

Today’s topic:

B2 – Identify and distinguish between stimulus and stimulus class.

In behavior analysis, understanding how stimuli influence behavior is essential for explaining how organisms interact with their environments.

In this episode we discuss:

Stimulus
Any environmental change or event that can affect behavior.

Stimulus Class
A group of stimuli that share common physical properties, common effects on behavior, or common functions.

Understanding these concepts helps behavior analysts identify how environmental variables influence behavior and how different stimuli can evoke similar responses.

In this episode you will learn:

• What a stimulus is in behavior analysis
• What a stimulus class is
• Practical examples from everyday environments and ABA therapy
• How stimuli influence behavior through environmental interactions
• How this concept may appear on the BCBA exam

This podcast series follows the BCBA 6th Edition Test Content Outline, helping future behavior analysts build strong conceptual understanding while studying for certification.
