Document Summary

Generalization is the tendency for behavior to occur in situations different from one in which the behavior was learned. Operant learning: ex: receiving rewards for effort. One way to increase generalization is to provide training in a wide (cid:1) (cid:1) variety of settings. A failure to generalize is sometimes a good thing. Learned behavior is most likely to appear in situations that closely (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) resemble the training situation. Operant learning: ex: colored disks (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Discrimination is the tendency for behavior to occur in situations that closely resemble the one in which the behavior was learned but not in situations that differ from it (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Discrimination training is any procedure for establishing discrimination. Difficult discriminations can be shaped by making the discriminative stimuli very different initially, and then gradually making them more alike (cid:1)
