Foundation Knowledge- The Super Hard Stuff Flashcards
Response Generalization
Extent to which an individual exhibits novice responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target response
How To Plan for Generalization
Select target behaviors that will meet with natural contingencies or reinforcement
Specify all desired variations of the behavior and the situations in which it should occur after instruction
7 Strategies To Promote Generalization
CLEMING Common Stimuli Loosely train Exemplars Mediation Indiscriminable contingencies Negative teaching examples General case analysis
Programming Common Stimuli
The likelihood that the correct will be occasioned in the generalization setting is increased if there is a lot of similarity between instructional setting and generalization setting
Loosely Training
Noncritical elements of the teaching setting are altered in arbitrary ways
Exemplars
The more examples utilized when teaching
Mediation
Instruct others who will maintain and generalize the newly acquired behaviors
Indiscriminable contingency
An individual is not able to discriminate when his or her responses will be reinforced
Negative teaching examples
Instructing individuals regarding settings, times and conditions in which is it NOT appropriate to display a certain behavior
General case analysis
Ensuring that you are teaching all the different stimulus variations and response variations the individual may encounter in the generalization post intervention environment
Terminating Successful Interventions
Systematically terminate
From the beginning attempt to reduce the need to generalize
Probe for generalization
Maintenance
Following removal of an intervention the extent to which a particular response remains in the individual’s repertoire over time
Verbal Behavior
Behavior that is reinforced through the mediation of another’s behaviors
Defined by the function of the response not topography
Not necessarily verbal, could be signed, written
Listener and Speaker
Form vs function of verbal behavior
Formal properties of language involved the topography
Function effects of the response
Verbal Operant
Unit of analysis in verbal behavior
MO/SD >Response >Consequence
Verbal Repertoire
A set of verbal operants emitted by someone
How are verbal operants used as the basis for language assessment?
Assess current effectiveness of each verbal operant

6 Types of Elementary Verbal Operants
EMITT Echoic Mand Intraverbal Tact Textual Transcription
Echoic
Speaker repeats verbal behavior of another speaker Controlled by a Verbal SD Point to Point Verbal Similarity GCSR
Mand
Type of verbal operant in which the speaker asks for what he or she wants or needs
Controlled by MO
First verbal operant
Items manded for
Mand Training
Choose words related to strong motivation
Needs to be controlled access
Easy to deliver
2 Types of Mands
Regular
Extended
Regular mands
Mands that can actually be reinforced
Extended mands
Emitting mands to objects or animals that can’t supply an appropriate response
2 Extended Mands
Superstitious
Magical
Intraverbal
Answering a question
Verbal Discriminative Stimulus
NOT point to point
GSCR
Intraverbal Training
Pre req- 50 mands and tacts
Prompting, fading and chaining
Begin with fill in’s
Should be taught systematically
Tact
Speaker has direct contact with
Labeling
Nonverbal SD
GSCR
Tact Training
Start with echoics
5-10 mands
Choose words used during tact training
Teach with mand components “What is that” “What do you see”
Ultimate goal is labeling independently without “what is that”
Tact Extensions
There is not one way to describe one thing
