Document Summary
We want it to happen outside of the training session for it to benefit the person: this refers to generalization. There are 3 types of generalization: stimulus generalization, response generalization, maintenance (generalization over time) Generalization can happen across settings, people, and stimuli. When a behaviour that has been reinforced in the presence of a specific stimuli (an sd) occurs in the presence of other stimuli. It can happen across settings, across, people, or across stimuli. Occurs when an individual who is taught one response, then starts to make other responses, without having to be taught them. Refers to whether or not the effects of your behaviour change program last over time. Ex. if this person learned how to tie their shoes, are they still able to do it 3 years from. It is important to take generalizations into account when making behaviour change programs: do(cid:374)"t just assu(cid:373)e its goi(cid:374)g to happe(cid:374)! 7 strategies to promote generalization: 1.
