Document Summary
Being in a classroom- we behave a certain way: different do how we behave in a bar. Pony boy dins - good stimulus control if he only responded to that but may have responsded if you yelled any word pigeon pecks at a red circle** with another circle inside. Stimulus discrimination: when the stimulus controls the behaviour very well. Kept calling different names, hoping she would come out: one day she said molly - and out she came, molly knew her name- had to keep her name as molly. Stimulus generalization: way to measure stimulus control. If pony boy came running when you called broccoli . Recall little albert- trained to cry at fuzzy things. Then cried even at anything furry- santa mask. The more different the stimulus is, the less likely the response is: may have come running if they said pony boy run may have come, but totally different word, may have not.
