stimulus control - ANSWERwhen behavior becomes more likely to occur in the presence of a
particular stimulus, as a result of having been reinforced in the presence of that stimulus
discriminations - ANSWERwhen responding gradually begins to occur only in the presence of stimuli
correlated with reinforcement
discriminative stimulus (Sd) - ANSWERa stimulus in the presence of which responding is likely to be
reinforced
s-delta - ANSWERan antecedent stimulus correlated with extinction
stimulus discrimination (tight stimulus control) - ANSWERthe absence of responding in the presence
of stimuli different than those paired with reinforcement (i.e., the subject "discriminates" the
difference between stimuli)
stimulus generalization (loose stimulus control) - ANSWERthe occurrence of responding in the
presence of stimuli that are similar to (share certain characteristics with) those paired with
reinforcement (i.e., the subject does not discriminate; instead, the subject's responding "generalizes"
across stimuli)
prompt fading - ANSWERgradually eliminate a verbal, physical, or gestural prompt
use less and less of the prompt
stimulus fading - ANSWERgradually eliminate stimulus currently controlling behavior
prompt or stimulus delay - ANSWERgradually increase latency between beginning of a trial and
controlling prompt or stimulus
wait some period of time before delivering prompt
, response generalization - ANSWERdifferent response for the same stimulus (dog, doggie, or woof
woof, in presence of dog)
stimulus generalization - ANSWERsame response for different stimulus (saying dog for a pic of dog, a
different dog in person, and one on tv)
overgeneralization - ANSWERex: learning to add -ed --> "breaked" instead of broke
what are some generalization strategies - ANSWER1. Reinforce occurrences of generalization
2. Teach Rs that encounter natural reinforcement contingencies
3. Modify natural contingencies
4. Use a variety of relevant stimulus situations in training
5. Incorporate common stimuli
6. Teach functionally equivalent Rs
7. Incorporate "self-generated" mediators
shaping - ANSWERdifferential reinforcement of successive approximations to a target behavior
how can shaping occur in everyday life - ANSWERearly: child is poking their sibling and is sent to their
room.
intermediate: pulls siblings hair because no longer is sent to room for poking and is now sent to room
for new behavior.
terminal: full on fight w/ sibling because no longer sent for hair pulling and is now sent for fighting.
shaping is useful when? - ANSWERR is unlikely to occur or R is not responsive to instruction modeling
(young babies, riding a bike)
processes involved in shaping - ANSWERdifferential reinforcement & extinction
differential reinforcement - ANSWERselective reinforcement of a particular response (intermediate
and terminal response topographies)
