Document Summary
Chapter 16: transferring behaviour to new settings and making it last: generality of behaviour change. Stimulus generalization: procedure of reinforcing a response in the presence of a stimulus or situate and the effect of the response becoming more probable in the presence of another stimulus or situation. Response generalization: behaviour becomes more probable as a result of the reinforcement of another behaviour. Unlearned response generalization due to considerable physical similarity of responses. Learned response generalization based on minimal physical similarity of responses. Learned response generalization due to functionally equivalent responses. Factors in uencing the effectiveness of programming generality of operant behaviour: Training situation in which the behaviour is initially strengthened. Target situation in which we want generality to occur. Program common stimuli (saying easy in practice doing a gure skating jump so you can land the jump in competition) Behavioural trapping: allow natural contingencies of reinforcement to take effect. Change the behaviour of people in the natural environment.
