Section 3 generalization and maintenance
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the 2 types of generalization | Stimulus generalization and response generalization |
Give an example of stimulus generalization | A=letter, B=letter, C=letter A=A; A=a |
Give an example of overgeneralization | calling all women "mommy;" calling any animal with a tail he says, "kitty;" inappropriate generalization |
Give example of response generalization | individual exhibits novel response functionally equivalent to the trained response |
Another term for response generalization | response induction |
How do I know if the answer is response or stimulus generalization? | Did the form of the response/behavior change? Yes=response gen; No=stimulus gen |
How do we plan for generalization | 1. Select B that will meet with natural contingencies of reinforcement. 2. Specify all desired variations of behavior and situations in which it should (should not) occur after instrxn is over. |
7 strategies to promote generalization | CLEMING |
CLEMING: C | Common stimuli--same stim exists in instrxn and natural setting. |
CLEMING: L | Loosely Train--Alter noncritical elements of instrxn in arbitrary ways (different days, different rooms, different clothes, etc) |
CLEMING: E | Exemplars--more examples=better; provide opporturnities to respond correctly to multiple examples of stimuli. |
CLEMING: M | Mediation=instruct others (parents, teachers, employers) who will help maintain and generalize new B |
CLEMING: I | Indiscriminable Contingencies=contingencies in which indv is not able to discriminate when his/her responses will be reinf. |
2 ways to create indiscriminable contingencies | intermittent schedule of reinforcement; delayed rewards |
CLEMING: N | Negative teaching examples=nonexamples; teach conditions under which it is NOT appropriate to display B |
CLEMING: G | General Case Analysis: teach all the different stimulus variations and response variations the indv may encounter after instrxn (order dinner from menu on screen, paper menu, drive thru) |
What is maintenance? | the extent to which a particular response remains in the indv repertoire over time after intv has been removed. |
How to program for maintenance: | 1. Use intermittent/variable reinf (maintains behavior) 2. Think variable interval and variable ratio schedules. |
T/F: Stimulus generalization is also known as generic tact extension. | TRUE! |
