Document Summary
Recognizing they you do one behavior in response to one sd and not another sd. Getting undressed dint he sd context of your bedroom is appropriate, but in the classroom it would be a highly inappropriate response to sd. Process of having the ability to discriminate between sd is very important. Reinforcement should be followed in one context and not in another context. You can reinforce yelling at the match but not in the home. Achieved through differential reinforcement where you reinforce only the proper behaviors. Don"t reinforce lying down if you"re trying to get the dog to sit. If you want good discrimination you need to only reinforce the proper behaviors. i. e. training test for birds: number of responses tested for triangles versus circles. Found that the pigeons picked either a lot to the circle and a little to the triangle, or the exact opposite. We now know that they are able to discriminate.
