Generalization and Measurement

Stimulus generalization

New stimulus or environment context evoking a response that has already occurred in the past

Learn to order pizza at Dominos then orders pizza at an Italian restaurant

Stimulus generalization

Is the behavior expanding to the antecedent condition

Stimulus generalization

One situation evokes new responses

Response generalization

One context

Response

Function means…

Consequence

Learning a new way to accomplish something

Response generalization

New behavior that has the same consequence as a learned behavior

Response generalization

Different topography

Response generalization

Has to have the same consequence

Response generalization

General Case Analysis

Identifying all the different things that are relevant to programming for generalization (be a detective)

Measurement Validity

Does the measurement capture the relevant dimension of behavior change

How to pick measurement procedures

Measurement validity and ability of data collector

Discontinuous measurement creates what

Measurement artifact

If observation time is always the same you can use frequency over rate True or False

True

Rate is how_____ the behavior is occurring

Fast (speed)

Use latency when

A behavior is occurring too quickly or slowly TO A CUE

Longer IRT means a _____ rate

Lower

IRT is used to set

Interval based procedures (like DRO/ DRL)
