PSYB45H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Vending Machine, Equivalence Class, Goal Setting
Document Summary
Transferring behavior to new settings and making it last. Occurs when the more physically similar 2 stimuli are, the more stimulus generalization will occur between them. Occurs from one stimulus to another because we have learned that the 2 stimuli are members of a stimulus common-element class. E. g. a set of stimuli that have some physical characteristic in common. Ex: a house with green shutters and a girl with green socks. Involves a set of stimuli that have some physical characteristic in common. Ex: house with green shutters and girl with green socks. Occurs when we have learned that the stimuli are members of an equivalence class. A set of completely dissimilar stimuli that an individual has been trained to match together. Ex: the words mutt, pooch, and a picture of a dog. Functionally equivalent in sense that they control the same response. Different responses that produce the same consequences are called "functionally equivalent responses"
