Document Summary
Behaviour that"s been reinforced in one situation or stimuli will likely occur in the presence of similar stimulus or situation. Similarity can be due to: physical similarity, stimuli in common-element stimulus class, stimuli in stimulus equivalence class. This is the same idea as stimulus generalization, but focussing on the behaviour instead of the stimulus. The more physically similar the training and the target situations are, the. 2 important situations: training situation more stimulus generalization will occur. Train in the target situation: want the final stages to be in a situation as close to target as possible, if possible, always train the behaviour in the target situation. Training sufficient stimulus exemplars: just one: general case programming: Then, train the range of behaviours across a range of acceptable desired stimuli: vary the acceptable response during training. If you want to generalize to a variety of response behaviours, reinforce a variety of those. As always, we want behaviour to maintain.
