Document Summary
The degree of correlation between a stimulus & a subsequent response. Look at what is maintaining the behavior; want them to perform what you are asking. Strong correlation/association between when the stimulus occurs & when the response occurs. See what motivates them with an established item (pairing yourself with a preferred item) Stimulus discrimination learning the procedure by which we emit a specific behavior in the presence of some stimuli & not in the presence of other stimuli. Mic & match so we don"t get the same response every time. Sds signals the response that leads to reinforcement; cue that a behavior will. Sdeltas cue that a behavior will not. Sd (kids in street); response (swearing); reinforcer (other kids may laugh while others are shocked; just wanting some kind of response) S-delta (grandma & grandpa); response (swearing); reinforcer (scolded; not proper) A discrete trial: the trainer"s presentation, the child"s response, the consequence, a short pause (between-trial interval)
