Unit 12 Flashcards
Responses are controlled in part by stimulus in the immediate environment. A method of promoting generalization called _____ involves including environmental features from the generalization context in training.
Programming common stimuli
Behavior that results in reinforcement only sometimes is more likely to maintain. Gradually ____ the schedule of reinforcement can help to promote maintenance.
Thinning
When a response occurs in inappropriate novel stimulus conditions, it has __.
Overgeneralized
After training a client to request a snack in the clinic setting, an RBT observed that the client did not emit this behavior at home or with parents. The training procedures were then implemented in the home and the parents were trained to conduct the training. This method is called __.
Sequential modification
If an RBT uses contingencies and schedules of reinforcement that make it more difficult for the client to determine when reinforcement will be provided, she is using ____.
Indiscriminable contingencies
Although a behavior may occur reliably in the training context, it is necessary for the behavior to also occur in the client’s everyday environment. Therefore, skill acquisition plans should include methods to ____ control from training stimuli to the natural stimuli in the client’s natural environment.
Transfer
____ is when a behavior persists and continues after teaching or training has ended.
Maintenance
_____ described when responding occurs under a variety of conditions or contexts.
Generalization
____ is when a specific response occurs in the presence of varied stimulus conditions.
Stimulus generalization
Sometimes, generalization can be hindered by the highly controlled conditions in research and clinic settings. To better promote generalization, RBTs can allow unimportant features of the environment to change over time, which is called ____.
Training loosely
For a behavior to successfully generalize to the natural setting, the behavior must still contact reinforcement. To improve the chance of generalization, training can incorporate ___ contingencies that resemble the consequences present in the generalization context.
Natural
Because some generalization occurs automatically, one way to get a behavior to generalize is to train and ____.
Hope
Stimulus generalization is when a specific behavior occurs in the presence of a novel stimuli that ____ the original training stimulus.
Resemble
Response generalization is when the ___ of the response varies.
Form
When a behavior should occur in a variety of contexts, RBTs can plan ahead of time to incorporate training in those contexts into the skill acquisition plan. By training ____ of situations in which the behavior should occur, the chance that the behavior will occur in new, untrained situations increases.
