Interactions of response patterns and their implications for behavior therapy.
Basic and clinical behavioral research reveals that actions of the organism frequently are organized to form concurrent and sequential response patterns. The former are nonrandom interrelationships among two or more responses that are measured over the same time period. Sequential response patterns are nonrandom relationships between responses when measured over time. This paper addresses some implications of response patterns for assessment and intervention in behavior therapy.
