PSYB45H3 Study Guide - Stimulus Control, Nanny, Enol
Document Summary
Ideas for class activities: provide interesting, everyday examples of stimulus control, describing the antecedent, behavior and consequence in each example. Have students identify the sd, the s-delta, and the reinforcer in each example: have students think about their activities in a typical day and write down five examples of different behaviors and the abcs of these behaviors. Have students identify the sd and reinforcer for each behavior and describe how the behavior was developed through the process of discrimination training. Answers to practice test questions: an antecedent stimulus is a stimulus or event that precedes the occurrence of an operant response. For example, ms. wimer calls on kiran when he raises his hand to answer a question in class. Kiran always provides the correct answer to ms. wimer"s question. Kiran"s raised hand is the antecedent stimulus which precedes ms. However, eating with his hands at a restaurant is punished by disapproving looks from others.
