VARIETY OF RELEVANT

The strategy for promoting generalization that the coach is using is INCORPORATING A(n) ________ STIMULUS SITUATIONS IN TRAINING.

(antecedent; competing contingency; isolated; stimulus)

A group of stimuli having the same functional effect on a certain behavior are said to belong to a stimulus __ (group, class, category, contingency)

A group of stimuli having the same functional effect on a certain behavior are said to belong to a stimulus CLASS

(parents; girlfriend; friends; parents and girlfriend)

Bill drives faster than the speed limit only when his friends are in the car with him because they tell him he is cool

(parents; girlfriend; friends; parents and girlfriend)

Bill drives faster than the speed limit only when his friends are in the car with him because they tell him he is cool

The presence of the babysitter at bed time is referred to as a(n) for asking to stay up late (stimulus class; S-delta; reinforcer; discriminative stimulus)

Whenever Tommy has a babysitter and asks to stay up past his bedtime, the babysitter lets him

Discriminative stimulus

SD (A discriminative stimulus) is the instruction or other antecedent evoking a response

When an instructor says "touch your nose", that instruction would be for the child to touch their nose

When an instructor says "touch your nose" that instruction would a SD (discriminatory stimulus" for the child to touch their nose

The process by which Mary learned to only asking her Mom to take her to the mall is a case of informal (discrimination training; generalization training; overcorrection; stimulus control)

When Mary asks her Mom to take her to the shopping mall, her Mom usually takes her

(when the discriminative stimulus is present the behavior is reinforced ; when the S-delta is present the behavior gets reinforced ; the discriminative stimulus controls the behavior)

When discriminative stimulus is present the behavior is reinforced and this is involved in stimulus discrimination training

Stimulus discrimination training can occur as a result of (reinforcement; punishment; extinction; all of these)

Stimulus discrimination training can occur as a result of reinforcement, punishment and extinction

(discriminating; generalizing; narrowing; expanding)

Darin cheers at a football game when his hometown team scores, and his Dad gives him a high five

(discriminative stimuli; S-deltas; punishes; conditioned stimuli)

When you tell jokes and your friends laugh, you are more likely to tell jokes to your friends

Stimulus control develops as a result of (classical conditioning; stimulus discrimination training; stimulus differentiation; conditioned stimulus training)

Stimulus control develops as a result of STIMULUS DISCRIMINATION TRAINING

The red light acts as a(n) for going and the green light acts as a(n) for going

When the stop light turns green, you go and when it is red, you dont go

In order to increase the probability that the target behavior will occur in all relevant situations following training, you should (use punishment on competing behaviors; reinforce the behavior in the presence of the S-delta; program for generalization; conduct a task analysis)

In order to increase the probability that the target behavior will occur in all relevant situations following training, you should PROGRAM FOR GENERALIZATION

(behavior occurs in the presence of stimuli similar to the discriminative stimulus ; a class of stimuli develops stimulus control over the behavior ; behavior occurs in the presence of relevant stimuli outside the training situation)

In generalization, behavior occurs in the presence of stimuli similar to the discriminative stimulus

(modifying contingencies of reinforcement and punishment in the natural environment; training skills that contact natural contingencies of reinforcement; incorporating a variety of relevant stimulus situations in training; teaching a range of functionally equivalent responses)

A teacher is helping a withdrawn child to increase his interaction with other students

(incorporating a variety of relevant stimulus situations in training; teaching a range of functionally equivalent responses; reinforcing occurrences of generalization; incorporating self-generated mediators of generalization)

Matthews baseball coach is helping him improve his hitting

(incorporating common stimuli; teaching a range of functionally equivalent responses; incorporating a variety of relevant stimulus situations in training; self-generated mediators of generalization)

Joe attends a class in order to learn to use a computer

Using the notes from the computer class to use his computer at home is an example of this strategy for promoting generalization

SELF-GENERATED MEDIATORS OF GENERALIZATION

(before training; during training; after training; all of these)

The generalization of a behavior change should be considered during every interval of training, BEFORE TRAINING, DURING TRAINING, AND AFTER TRAINING

The first step in the treatment of a problem behavior is to (eliminate the reinforcer for the problem behavior; conduct a functional assessment; select a punisher that will be effective in decreasing the problem behavior; remove the antecedents that are increasing the likelihood of the behavior occurring)

The first step in the treatment of a problem behavior is to CONDUCT A FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT

Functional intervention strategies that are used to decrease problem behaviors include all of the following except (extinction; differential reinforcement ; punishment ; antecedent manipulations)

Functional intervention strategies that are used to decrease problem behaviors include extinction, differential reinforcement and antecedent manipulations BUT NOT PUNISHMENT

(incorporating common stimuli in training; teaching a range of functionally equivalent responses; incorporating a wide range of stimulus situations in training; reinforcing instances of generalization)

A child frequently engages in tantrums when requests are made of him by his parents and teachers

(incorporating common stimuli; incorporating a variety of relevant stimulus situations in training; teaching a range of functionally equivalent responses; teaching a range of functionally equivalent responses; training skills that contact natural contingencies of reinforcement)

In order to teach a child to interact in an appropriate way with other children, a psychologist involves other children in the training sessions

Teaching individuals a variety of different ways in which they can achieve the same outcome is referred to as teaching (self-generated mediators of generalization; skills that contact natural contingencies of reinforcement; instances of generalization; a range of functionally equivalent responses)

Teaching individuals a variety of different ways in which they can achieve the same outcome is referred to as teaching INSTANCES OF GENERALIZATION

(focusing on functionally equivalent alternative behaviors; conducting a functional assessment for the problem behavior; planning for generalization once treatment has been successful; making sure you apply the fair-pair rule)

Planning for generalization once treatment has been successful is NOT a guideline for promoting a generalized reduction in problem behaviors

When reinforcing a behavior that occurs outside the training situation in the presence of relevant stimuli, the relevant stimuli develop ( ) over the behavior

When reinforcing a behavior that occurs outside the training situation in the presence of relevant stimuli, the relevant stimuli develop STIMULUS CONTROL over the behavior

Another way to promote generalization if reinforcing the behavior outside of training sessions is not feasible, is to (tell the child to generalize; asl parents to reinforce the behavior; teach others in the speech session from his school to reinforce the behavior; any of these could increase generalization)

Another way to promote generalization if reinforcing the behavior outside of training sessions is not feasible is to tell the child to generalize, ask parents to reinforce the behavior or teach others in the speech session from his school to reinforce the behavior

Different behaviors that achieve the same outcome are called

Different behaviors that achieve the same outcome are called FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT RESPONSES
