B11 Define & Provide Examples of Discrimination, Generalization & Maintenance Part 4 Flashcards
Stimulus generalization may refer to
Behavior evoked by an Sd in the presence of irrelevant stimuli
Responding under loose stimulus control.
Responding under specific critical stimulus properties while non-critical properties vary.
Responding under loose stimulus control.
Which of the following exemplifies response generalization?
All the above for one of the questions.
A child is taught to sign “I love you” with his right hand, as a result he can sign it with his left hand also.
A boy used to climb on a step stool to reach the cookies when he was little, now he just walks to the cabinet and opens it.
On a generalization gradient, the highest response rates are associated with
The original stimulus
A slightly different behavior than the one that was taught is needed to achieve a task. If the new behavior occurs, we call this
Response generalization
During DTT, a child was taught to point to objects. Instead of pointing, he now sometimes puts his whole hand on the objects. This change in behavior is
Response generalization
A stimulus change decrement occurs when a decrease in responding is due to
A change in the Sd
Response generalization refers to the occurrence of
Untrained topographical variations of a trained response.
Variations in behavior that contribute to shaping new behaviors.
Variations in behavior as a result of extinction.
The effect of conditioning on future responding is strongest
When conditions are the same as those during training
In a group therapy session held in the office, a child has attained a rate of 8 interactions per hour, but this decreases to 3 per hour when the session is held elsewhere.
There is a stimulus change decrement of 5.
Generalization gradient is most similar to
Stimulus change decrement
If discrimination exists with respect to a stimulus, this would be indicated on a generalization gradient by
High response rates to the original stimulus and low response rates to dissimilar stimuli
On a generalization gradient, the lowest response rates are associated with
Stimuli that are several degrees different from the original stimulus
Stimulus generalization occurs when a behavior is evoked by stimuli that are similar to an Sd because they share similar
Physical properties
Rate of responding as a function of the variation of a property of a controlling stimulus describes a
Generalization gradient
