Document Summary
Chapter 16 transferring behavior to new settings and making it. Teaching stan to protect himself: numerous children were taught self-protection in response to strangers trying to lure the children into going to places with them (child abduction) The more physically similar the 2 stimuli are, the more stimulus generalization will occur between them (similar looking berries) This is an unlearned/inherited characteristic: 2. Stimulus generalization might occur from one stimulus to another because we have learned that the 2 stimuli are members of a common- element stimulus class (a set of stimuli that have some physical characteristics in common) Example: a house with green shutters and a girl with green socks: 3. Stimulus generalization might occur from one stimulus to another because we have learned that the stimuli are members of an equivalence class (a set of completely dissimilar stimuli that an individual has learned to group together)
