Generalization Flashcards
Generalization
behaviors learned under one condition start occurring in other conditions
Stimulus class
multiple stimuli that evoke one response
- showing pictures of pizza. diff types of pics
Response class
multiple responses result in the same outcome
- opening a door. learning diff ways to open
Response generalization
engaging in diff responses under the same stimulus condition
Stimulus overselectivity
control of behavior by a subset of the total stimuli in the environment
Train and hope
teach in one environment and hope it occurs in others
Sequential Modification
teach in one environment and then in another environment
teach one response, than another similar one
teach with one teacher than with another
sequentially adding unto what was first taught in different ways
Introduction of Natural Maintaining Contingencies
when you bring behavior under the control of consequences that occur naturally in the environment
behavior trapping
Train sufficient exemplars
teach multiple stimuli simultaneously
teach in various environments simultaneously
teach with multiple teachers simultaneously
Train loosely
train what naturally occurs
include naturalistic teaching
flexible teaching
Using Indescribable Contingencies
using unpredictable reinforcement or punishment
making it difficult for learner to determine the antecedent and consequence occurring at any given moment
Programming for common stimuli
using stimuli present in natural environment
- instead of showing picture of dog, showing them a real dog
make teaching environment resemble the natural environment
