B11 Define & Provide Examples of Discrimination, Generalization & Maintenance Part 4 Flashcards
(14 cards)
Stimulus generalization may refer to
Behavior evoked by an Sd in the presence of irrelevant stimuli
Responding under loose stimulus control.
Responding under specific critical stimulus properties while non-critical properties vary.
Responding under loose stimulus control.
Which of the following exemplifies response generalization?
All the above for one of the questions.
A child is taught to sign “I love you” with his right hand, as a result he can sign it with his left hand also.
A boy used to climb on a step stool to reach the cookies when he was little, now he just walks to the cabinet and opens it.
On a generalization gradient, the highest response rates are associated with
The original stimulus
A slightly different behavior than the one that was taught is needed to achieve a task. If the new behavior occurs, we call this
Response generalization
During DTT, a child was taught to point to objects. Instead of pointing, he now sometimes puts his whole hand on the objects. This change in behavior is
Response generalization
A stimulus change decrement occurs when a decrease in responding is due to
A change in the Sd
Response generalization refers to the occurrence of
Untrained topographical variations of a trained response.
Variations in behavior that contribute to shaping new behaviors.
Variations in behavior as a result of extinction.
The effect of conditioning on future responding is strongest
When conditions are the same as those during training
In a group therapy session held in the office, a child has attained a rate of 8 interactions per hour, but this decreases to 3 per hour when the session is held elsewhere.
There is a stimulus change decrement of 5.
Generalization gradient is most similar to
Stimulus change decrement
If discrimination exists with respect to a stimulus, this would be indicated on a generalization gradient by
High response rates to the original stimulus and low response rates to dissimilar stimuli
On a generalization gradient, the lowest response rates are associated with
Stimuli that are several degrees different from the original stimulus
Stimulus generalization occurs when a behavior is evoked by stimuli that are similar to an Sd because they share similar
Physical properties
Rate of responding as a function of the variation of a property of a controlling stimulus describes a
Generalization gradient
