Review Study Guide: Miltenberger Chapter 7 - Stimulus Control, Discrimination, and Generalization Flashcards
When a(n) _____ is present the behavior is less likely to occur.
S-delta
When a behavior is more likely to occur only when a specific antecedent stimulus is present, the behavior is under:
stimulus control
When the stop light turns green, you go and when it is red, you don’t go. The red light acts as a(n) ___ for going and the green light acts as a(n) _____
for going.
s-delta
SD
A(n) _____ is the stimulus that is present when a behavior is reinforced.
Discriminative Stimulus
A stimulus that precedes a behavior is referred to as a(n)
antecedent
________ occurs when a behavior occurs in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the SD.
Generalization
___________ is the process in which the behavior is reinforced in the presence of the SD and not reinforced in the presence of the S-delta.
x stimulus discrimination
A(n) ______ is the stimulus that is present when the behavior is not reinforced.
s-delta
A three-term-contingency involves a relationship between _______, _______, and ________.
Hint: put them in the order they occur
antecedent
behavior
consquence
When a(n) ______ is present the behavior is more likely to occur.
SD
Stimulus discrimination training can occur as a result of:
punishment
extinction
reinforcement
all of these
The relationship between an antecedent, behavior, and consequence is referred to as a(n)
three way interaction
three term contingency
three term contract
stimulus control
three term contingency

parents
friends

When the family dog licks the faces of the children in the family, they laugh and give the dog a treat. When the dog licks the faces of the parents, they scold the dog. As a result, the dog no longer licks the faces of the parents, but continues to lick the faces of the children. The children’s faces would be an example of a(n) ______ for the dog licking their faces.
