Events and Relations Composing other Contingency Constructs in Experimental Settings

Events and Relations Composing a Macrocontingency
Production of cumulative effect	Events 1. Some combination of operant behavior across x individuals and IBCs of y groups (x + y = n; n > 1)
	Events 2. Cumulative effect contributions
	Event 3. Cumulative effect
	Relation 1. Dependence of cumulative effect contributions on IBCs and/or operant behavior
	Relation 2. Dependence of cumulative effect on cumulative effect contributions
Events and Relations Composing a Coordinated Operant Contingency
Coordinated reinforcement of operant behavior	Event 1. Increase in or maintenance of probability (> 0) or rate (> 0) of potential occurrences of operant behavior (across n individuals; n > 0)
	Events 2. Potential reinforcing events
	Relation 1. Dependence of potential reinforcing events on multiple environmental alterations produced by potential occurrences of operant behavior
	Relation 2. Conditionality of increase in or maintenance of probability or rate of occurrences of operant behavior given dependent reinforcing events
	Relations 3 (≥ 0). Determinable probability or rate of occurrences of one individual’s operant behavior given environmental alterations produced by operant behavior of the same or different individual(s). Only necessary to demonstrate interlocking behavioral contingencies in which environmental alterations are produced by two or more individuals or a pattern of behavior in which an individual responds with respect to environmental alterations produced by their own behavior

See Table 1 for events and relations composing culturants and operant behavior, as applicable.
