This article represents an attempt to reach consensus on terms frequently used by its authors, who share an interest in extending a behaviorist worldview to cultural phenomena. Definitions of metacontingency, macrobehavior, macrocontingency, culturo-behavioral lineage, and cultural cusp were agreed on and are reported in this aper. In addition, the paper presents additional points its authors discussed in arriving at the definitions rovided. It is expected that this terminology will continue to be refined with further study and applications.
