Document Summary
7-8: an antecedent stimulus that is present when a behavior is reinforced is called a(n) Discriminative stimulus s behavior is not reinforced is called a(n) s- delta s. ; an antecedent stimulus that is present when a: when patty hears thunder at school, she cries, and her classmates ignore her. Patty hears thunder at home, she cries, and her parents hold and comfort her. As a result, patty cries at home but not at school when she hears thunder. The discriminative stimulus is the parents comforting her, thus leading to the reinforcement of crying more when a thunder will occur at home. The s-delta would be the classmates ignoring her, because with ignoring and not comforting her, patty won"t cry again in the future at school: explain the concept of a generalization gradient. Shows the relationship between the degree of change in the original conditioning stimulus and response strength; measure of generalization/discrimination.
