Cooper ch 17 generalization/SD

Question 1

a stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been reinforced and in the absence of which the same type of responses have occurred and not been reinforced

Answer 1

SD

Question 2

a stimulus in the presence of which a given behavior has not produced reinforcement in the past

Answer 2

S-Delta

Question 3

a situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus.

Answer 3

Stimulus control

Question 4

When an antecedent stimulus has a history of evoking a response that has been reinforced in its presence, the same type of behavior tends to be evoked by stimuli that share similar physical properties with the controlling antecedent stimulus.

Answer 4

Stimulus generalization

Question 5

occurs when different stimuli do not evoke the response.

Answer 5

Stimulus discrimination

Question 6

7. What does the conventional procedure for stimulus discrimination training require?

Answer 6

Requires one behavior and two antecedent stimulus conditions

Question 7

a complex example of stimulus control that requires both stimulus generalization within a class of stimuli and discrimination between classes of stimuli.

Answer 7

Concept formation

Question 8

a set of stimuli that share a common relation. will evoke the same operant response class, or elicit the same respondent behavior.

Answer 8

Antecedent stimulus class

Question 9

A positive in all 3 behavioral tests (reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity) is necessary to be defined as this. It’s the emergence of accurate responding to untrained and nonreinforced stimulus-stimulus relations following the reinforcement of responses to some stimulus-stimulus relations.

Answer 9

Stimulus equivalence

Question 10

3 ways to test for stimulus equivalence.

Answer 10

o Reflexivity: Occurs when in the absence of training and reinforcement a response will select a stimulus that is matched to itself (A=A) Example: matching a picture of a car to a car).
o Symmetry: occurs with the reversibility of the sample stimulus and comparison stimulus (if A=B, then B=A). (If given the verbal direction “car,” learner finds picture of car, then when presented with a picture of “car,” can give verbal identification of “car”
o Transitivity: untrained stimulus-stimulus relation (untrained generalization)
• Reflexivity: Also called generalized identity matching

Question 11

procedure for investigating conditional relations and stimulus equivalence. Format of trial:

Answer 11

Matching to sample

Question 12

supplementary antecedent stimuli used to occasion a correct response in the presence of as SD that will eventually control the behavior.
Verbal
Modeling
Physical guidance

Answer 12

Prompts

Question 13

16. What are the four procedures for transferring stimulus control from response prompts to natural stimuli

Answer 13

Most to least intrusive prompts
Graduated guidance
Least to most intrusive prompts
Time delay
