(2003) " Behaviorspeak: A Glossary of Terms in Applied Behavior Analysis"

Newman, B., Reeve, K., Reeve, S.A., & Ryan, C. (2003). Behaviorspeak: A glossary of terms in applied behavior analysis. NY: Dove & Orca.

It's pretty clear from the title what this book is--a glossary, but what a glossary! Straightforward, clearly written and cross-referenced, detailed and yet also not difficult to read. Kind of a hard feat to pull off, but the authors did it. As a layperson I thought perhaps I was overly impressed, but the reviews from parents, students and professionals all seem to be unanimous that for a useful reference to behavioral terminology, this is one to get.
