have followed the Bx in the past

Experimental Analysis of Behavior (FK-07) - ANSWER Records the rate at
which a single subject emitted a given Bx in a controlled and standardized
experimental chamber

Radical behaviorism (FK-08) - ANSWER the philosophy of the science of

dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension that mediates or causes
