Question 5

stimulus dimensions

Answer 5

the physical properties of a stimulus

Question 6

fading procedure

Answer 6

at first, the S^D and the S^🔺differ along at least one irrelevant dimension, as well as the relevant dimensions. Then the difference between the S^D and S^🔺 is reduced along all but the relevant dimensions, until the S^D and the S^🔺 differ along only those relevant dimensions

Question 7

errorless discrimination procedure

Answer 7

the use of a fading procedure to establish a discrimination, with no errors during the training
