Document Summary
Chapter 10 changing the stimulus control of behaviour with fading. Definition: gradual change of responses through a series of trials of an antecedent stimulus that controls a response eventually changes to a new antecedent stimulus. E. g. teaching a baby how to walk first start out with lots of support, then you gradually lessen the support. Errorless learning/discrimination training: use fading procedures to establish stimulus discrimination w/ no errors. Benefits: no error = save time; errors may still relapse even if extinguished, evoke emotional side effects (e. g. aggression, tantrum etc. ) Script fading procedures: teach developmental disabilities children to interact with others (e. g. say hi ) Dimension: characteristic of a stimulus that can be measured (e. g. sensory modalities, # of items. ) Fading is not only for specific stimulus, but for general situation or setting: e. g. training students to be less disruptive in a classroom setting. Dimensions: classroom structure & # of students.
