Week 10 Flashcards
stimulus control
bringing responses a learner already knows under the control go the appropriate cue or signal.
using prompts
supplementary antecedent stimuli used to occasion a correct response in the presence of an SD .
response prompts
verbal instruction, modeling, physical guidence
stimulus prompts
movement cues, position cues, redundancy
transfer of stimulus control
prompts should be used only during acquisition
Response maintenence
Extent to which a learner continues to perform the target behavior after a portion or all of the intervention responsible for the behaviors initial appearance in the learners repertoire has been terminated,
setting/situation generalization
extent to which a learner emits the target behavior in a setting or stimulus situation that is different from the instructional setting.
instructional setting
total environment where instruction occurs including any aspects of the environment planned or unplanned that may influence the learners acquisition and generalization of the target behavior.
generalization setting
any place or stimulus that differs in some meaningful way from the instructional setting and in which performance of the target behavior is desired.
response to generalization
extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target behavior.
faulty stimulus control
target behavior comes under the restricted control of an irrelevant antecedent stimulus
stimulus equivalence
emergence of accurate responding to untrained and non reinforced stimulus-stimulus relations following the reinforcement of response to some stimulus-stimulus relations.
generalization across subjects
changes in the behavior of people not directly treated by an intervention as a function of treatment contingencies applied to other people
two step process
identify salient stimuli that characterize the generalization settings and incorporating those stimuli into the instructional setting.
