PSYB45H3 Lecture Notes - Stimulus Control
Document Summary
That is, a class of similar stimuli develops stimulus control over the behaviour. Strategies for promoting generalization of behaviour change: reinforcing instances of generalization: reinforce the behaviour when generalization occurs; reinforce in the presence of relevant stimuli. reinforce the behaviour when it occurs outside the training situation on the presence of relevant stimuli. Relevant stimuli develop stimulus control over the behaviour: training skills that contact natural contingencies of reinforcement: If you can"t provide reinforcement for the behaviour in relevant situations outside the training situation, its important for natural reinforcers to be present. In this way the client s will have the opportunity to engage in the activities that are reinforcing to them: modifying natural contingencies of reinforcement and punishment: desirable behaviours will occur in relevant situations outside the training situation if the behaviour is reinforced in those situations. Incorporate many of the relevant situations in training. www. notesolution. com.
