G10 Teach Simple & Conditional Discriminations Flashcards
When the sample stimulus is a spoken word or some other auditory stimulus, it should be
Repeated about every two seconds until the learner responds
A type of matching to sample in which a leaner selects from an array of comparison stimuli after the sample stimulus is removed is called _ matching
Delayed
Which of the following most closely represents the application of differential reinforcement in a matching to sample task? Following the learner’s selection of an incorrect comparison stimulus, the teacher
Removes the materials and presents the next trial.
Matching to sample procedures are used to study and teach
Stimulus equivalence
A type of matching to sample in which a leaner selects from an array of comparison stimuli in the presence of the sample stimulus is called _ matching
Simultaneous
Matching to sample is a task in which an individual selects a stimulus from an array that
Corresponds in some specified way to a sample stimulus
In matching to sample presentations, instructions such as “touch the”, “point to” or “give me” that tell the learner which selection response should be used are
Additional irrelevant stimuli that enhance the difficulty of the task
If a discrimination between comparison stimuli based on subtle differences between the stimuli, such as between the words CAP and CAR, it may be useful to
Teach discriminations between the relevant features of the stimuli first
When a learner makes on incorrect response in matching to sample task, prompts should be used
On a later trial before the learner’s next opportunity to make the same response.
When presenting instructional material in matching to sample tasks, instructions such as “Touch the”, “Point to”, or “give me the” that tell the learner which selection response to use
May be distracting and should be omitted with early learners
Incorrect comparison stimuli should be
Familiar stimuli with which the learner has prior experience
In general, each sample stimulus should be presented with
At least three comparison stimuli
In a matching to sample task, the function of the comparison stimuli changes from trial to trial depending on the sample stimulus, such that a given comparison stimulus is
Correct on some trials and incorrect on other trials.
Before learners can acquire conditional discriminations from a matching to sample task, they must first learn to
Orient toward instructional stimuli.
Scan multiple comparison stimuli.
Sit quietly between trials.
In a matching to sample task, the comparison stimuli
Are selected by the learner as a function of their relationship to the sample stimulus.
