Covert behavior makes sense, but isn't it a bit tricky?

Wait, are we sure about that?

I’m confused; I thought operant behavior was related to actions that can be observed, but now I’m not so sure.

I feel like I've seen a question like this before, and I think it was about covert behavior too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about overt behavior being observable by others.

I think the answer might be A, covert behavior, because it's about things we can't see directly.

I think the key here is the word "directly observed." Covert behavior is the one that can only be observed by the person themselves, so A seems like the right answer.

Ugh, I'm totally blanking on the definitions of these different types of behavior. I'll just have to make an educated guess and hope for the best.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. Covert behavior is the one that's internal and can't be directly observed by others, so I'm going to go with A.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. Is it asking about the different types of behavior like operant and respondent? I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about the difference between overt and covert behavior. Covert behavior is the one that can only be observed by the person themselves, so I'll go with A.

I wonder if the answer is 'all of the above'? That's usually the trick question on these exams.

Maybe I should just ask the person sitting next to me. They might know the answer and be willing to share it. *wink wink*

Covert behavior, of course! That's the one that only the person can observe. Easy peasy!

Wait, isn't respondent behavior the one where the person's behavior is elicited by a specific stimulus? I'm not sure about this.

Yes, you are correct. Respondent behavior is when a person's behavior is elicited by a specific stimulus.

Ooh, operant behavior! That's the one where the person's actions are influenced by consequences, right?
