PSYB45H3 Chapter 16: Transferring Behaviour to New Settings and Making It Last
Document Summary
Chapter 16 transferring behaviour to new settings and making it last: generality of. Example: practicing in the same room that the presentation is held: vary the training conditions. Example: practicing in different weathers: program common stimuli. Example: use a word to trigger a reminder: train sufficient stimulus exemplars. Example: if you learn a forehand shot in racquetball, chances are that you would be able to perform a forehand shot in squash or tennis: learned response generalization can occur if widely different responses share a common characteristic. Example: adding an s to words pertaining to more than one object even when it is grammatically incorrect: an individual might show response generalization because he or she has learned functionally equivalent responses to a stimulus. Example: responses that produce the same consequences such as honesty: strategies for programming response generalization, train sufficient response exemplars.
