The terms molar and molecular have been a part of behavior analytic jargon for a long time. This paper reviews all the ways these terms have been used in the field and discusses the theoretical implications of these various uses of the terms. The paper concludes with a discussion on strengthening responses and moment-to-moment behavior stream simulation.
