Engineering Emergent Learning with Nonequivalence Relations
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Arbitrarily Applicable Relational Responding
Abstract response patterns, that has the properties of mutual entailment, combinatorial entailment and transformation of stimulus functions, and that are controlled by contextual cues.
Arbitrary Relations
Stimuli that “go together” not because they are physically identical or because a law of the universe demands this, but rather because social- verbal reinforcement contingencies teach people to relate them in a certain way.
Behavioral Inflexibility
An insensitivity to external stimuli occurring when private events interfere with well-being behaviors on which high-priority positive reinforcers are contingent.
Contextual Stimulus
Signals the time of relational responding that will be reinforced.
Combinatorial Entailment
A relation involving two stimuli that both participate in mutual entailment with some common third stimulus.
Deictic Relations
A relation between the self, as one stimulus, and other stimuli from the external world.
Derived Relations
Untrained stimulus-stimulus relations such as equivalence, reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity
Distinction Relations
Responding jointly to two stimuli on the basis of their differences.
Hierarchical Relations
A nested stimulus relation in which a category, subsuming multiple stimuli, is itself a member of a higher order category subsuming multiple stimuli.
Multiple-Exemplar Training
A form of ‘instruction that provides practice with a variety of response topographies [which] help to ensure the acquisition of desired response forms and also promotes response generalization in the form of untrained topographies
Mutual Entailment
The relations between two stimuli. For example, if you are told that A = B, you can derive that B = A. That is, the specified A = B relation mutually entails the (symmetrical) B = A relation.
Nonequivalence Relations
Derived stimulus relations in which stimuli are related on some basis other than “sameness.”
Perspective Shifting
Responding as if from a vantage point of another person, place, or time than the personal here and now.
Relational Frame Theory
A behavior analytic approach to language which aims to connect and understand the relationship between language and derived stimulus relations.
