PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 16: Stimulus Control, Classical Conditioning
Document Summary
A behaviour change has generality when either of the following three occur. Simulus generalizaion: trained behaviour transfers from training situaion to target situaion. Target situaion is usually the natural environment. Response generalizaion: training leads to development of new behaviour that was not speciically trained. Behaviour maintenance: trained behaviour is maintained in the natural environment over ime. Term situaion in training situaion and target situaion may refer to paricular simuli, to paricular seings, or to both. Programming for generality is diferent for operant and respondent behaviour. Involves programming for simulus generalizaion, response generalizaion, and behaviour maintenance. Simulus generalizaion refers to transferring a response that you have learned with a paricular simuli to a new simuli. Unlearned = due to strong physical similarity of simuli. More similar training and target situaions are, more simulus generalizaion there"ll be between them. Strategies for programming: (a) train in the target situaion.
