Definitions:

Behavioral Intent

A term used to describe the relation between the behaviors students exhibit and the outcomes they desire. When students act, even with behaviors considered to be inappropriate, they do so to achieve a result. The desired result, or outcome, can be viewed as the intent or function of the behavior. In turn, the intent of the behavior will affect the form (i.e., appearance) the behavior takes to achieve a desired outcome.

Coexisting Functions

The phenomenon where multiple factors or conditions operate or exist simultaneously, influencing outcomes or behaviors in complex ways.

Multiply Controlled Behaviors

Behaviors influenced by more than one environmental factor or contingency, making them complex and sometimes challenging to modify.

Antecedents

Events or conditions that precede and influence behavior, often studied in behavioral psychology to understand causal relationships.
