PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 10: Errorless Learning, Classical Conditioning, The Fading
Document Summary
Chapter 10- changing the stimulus control of a behaviour w/ fading. Fading-the gradual change over successive trails of an antecedent stimulus that controls a response so that the response eventually occurs to a partially changed or completely new antecedent stimulus. Peter w/ autism would at first say his name only when it was said to him (through imitation). Through a fading process, the stimulus control over the response peter was gradually transferred from the antecedent stimulus peter to the antecedent stimulus what"s your name? . Fading involved in many everyday situations in which one person teaches a behaviour to another person e. g. parents fade out their help when child is learning to walk. In any situation in which a stimulus exerts a strong control over a response, fading can be a very useful procedure for transferring the control of that response to some other stimulus.
