What is the term used to describe behavior that continues after the withdrawal of intervention?

The term that describes behavior that continues after the withdrawal of intervention is "generativity." This concept refers to the enduring change in behavior that persists even when the specific interventions or supports that facilitated that behavior are no longer present. Generativity is crucial in applied behavior analysis as it signifies that the behavior has been sufficiently learned and internalized by the individual, allowing them to exhibit the desired behavior independently.

Other terms such as "analytic," "effective," and "applied" emphasize different aspects of behavior analysis but do not specifically capture the idea of behavior maintenance after intervention cessation. Analytic relates to the importance of demonstrating experimental control over behavior, effective refers to the successful outcomes of interventions, and applied indicates the relevance of behavior analysis to real-world issues. None of these terms directly address the persistence of behavior post-intervention as generativity does.
