Response Class: a group of responses of varying topography, all of which produce the same effect on the environment.  Applied Behavior Analysis (2nd Edition)

This means the responses physically look different even though they have the same effect on the environment.  For example when I clean my kitchen I can wash the dishes with a sponge or I can put the dishes in the dishwasher.  In both instances when I am done I will have cleaned the kitchen and my dishes will be washed.
