Types of Generlazation

vicarious generalization- across people

maintenance- across time

response generalization- across behaviors

stimulus generalization- across situations

Generalization Across People

generalization of a model to those an observer.

Genrealization Across Time

generalization of behavior overtime

Generalization Across Behaviors

Generalization Across Situations

Pavlovian Conditioning

dogs salivated in response to different tones and to different decibels of the same tone.

Little Albert

albert was conditioned to fear rats without prior exposure was fearful of white furry stimuli

Generalization Gradient

How alike or different a conditioned response is from a stimulus that resembles conditioned stimulus.

Increase Generalization

-provide training in a variety of settings -provide many examples -provide variety of consequences - reinforce generalization when it happens.

Stimulus Generalization Pros

-Increases learning of new material, new setting etc. - Decreases the need for many specific training lessons.- Increases independence of the learner.

Cons of Stimulus Generalization

Behavior may not be appropriate in all settings - Resources may not be avalible in all settings. - Can be taken for granted by instructors - Hate crimes.

Discrimination

The tendecy for behavior to occur in certain situations but not in others.

Discrimination Training Classical Conditioning

(conditioned stimulus) (CS+) is paired with (US) ( unconditioned stimulus) (CS-) is presented alone

Operant Conditioning Discriminative Stimuli

(SD) signals the avalibility of reinforcing consequences (S^) signals lack of reinforcing consequences.
