Pass the Big ABA Section 3
discrimination Correct Answer: occurs with a limited spectrum of stimuli occasion a response
narrow stimulus control
generalization Correct Answer: occurs when a large spectrum of stimuli (eg. sounds, items, etc.) occasion a certain response
critical to why human species has survived and thrived
2 Types of Generalization Correct Answer: Stimulus Generalization
Response Generalization (AKA Response Induction)
Stimulus Generalization Correct Answer: responding to antecedent stimuli sharing certain aspects of the original SD
ex: all animals with tail labeled as cat
Overgeneralization Correct Answer: emitting a response appropriate to some contexts in an inappropriate generalization
ex: calling all women mommy
Response Generalization Correct Answer: the extent to which an individual exhibits novice responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target response
the effects of intervention are expanded from a targeted response to a similar non-targeted behavior
the form of the response/behavior changes
induction=introduction
ex: folding socks in a knot for years...then realizing that you can roll in to a ball
AKA for Response Generalization Correct Answer: Response Induction
Key element of Response Generalization Correct Answer: the form of the behavior (topography) changes
7 Strategies To Promote Generalization Correct Answer: CLEMING
Common Stimuli
Loosely Trained
Exemplars
Mediation
Indiscriminable Contingencies
Negative Teaching Examples
General Case Analysis
Common Stimuli Correct Answer: Program Common Stimuli
liklihood that the correct response will be occasioned in the generalization setting is increases if there is a lot of similarity between the instructional setting and the generalization setting
ensure the same SDs exist in both the instructional and generalized setting
ex: teaching how to shop in the home and then in the store
Loosely Trained Correct Answer: loosely train
expanding the heterogeneity of SDs
noncritical elements of the teaching setting are altered in arbitrary ways
decreases the likelihood that the individual too narrowly discriminates some noncritical stimulus and that non critcal stimulus acquires exclusive control over the target response
ex: teacher upstairs one day and downstairs another day
Exemplars Correct Answer: the more examples utilized when teaching , the better
provide the individual opportunities to respond correctly to multiple examples of antecedent stimuli
ex: saying, "Bye", "See you later", "Peace out" and "Farewell" are all examples of stimuli that have the same meaning and would be responded to in the same manner
Mediation Correct Answer: instruct others who will help maintain and generalize the newly acquired behaviors
think: parents, teachers, employers, etc.
Indiscriminable Contingencies Correct Answer: a contingency in which an individual is NOT able to discriminate when his responses will be reinforced
thus, behaviors remain at a high rate bc he does not know when his response will produce reinforcement
making contingencies unclear in the generalization setting
intermittent schedules of reinforcement
Negative Teaching Examples Correct Answer: instruction individuals regarding settings, times, and conditions in which it is NOT appropriate to display a certain behavior
"DONT DO IT" --exemplars strengthen discrimination skills
General Case Analysis Correct Answer: ensuring that you are teaching all the different stimulus variations (different laundry machines) and response variations (different ways to use the laundry machine) the individual may encounter in the generalization, post intervention environment.
ex: teaching how to use a laundry machine---must first locate all of the washing machines in the area and teach the student how to use each one
AKA for General Case Analysis Correct Answer: General Case Study
relevance of behavior rule Correct Answer: only choose behaviors that generate reinforcers after intervention ceases
terminating successful interventions Correct Answer: one must systematically terminate successful interventions
one should assess how intricate the intervention is, how quickly did the intervention produce the desired change for the individual and the availability of natural contingencies of reinforcement for the newly acquired skill
FROM THE BEGINNING: attempt to reduce the need to generalize
mediators should have a role in generalization
Mainenance Correct Answer: following the removal of an intervention, the extent to which a particular response remains in the individual's repertoire over time
a history of intermittent reinfocement helps to promote a behaviors
ex: riding a bike--learn as a kid and keep skill into adult hood
AKA for Maintenance Correct Answer: Response Maintenance
Verbal Behavior Correct Answer: created by Skinner
book "Verbal Behavior" published 1957
Private Events Correct Answer: events taking place inside the skin
thoughts and feelings
