Module 10

Behavior that is learned under one condition that begins to occur in other conditions is known as

Generalization.

This term refers to when multiple stimuli evoke the same response

Stimulus Class

This term refers to when multiple responses result in the same outcome

Response Class

Engaging in the same response when the stimuli changes is known as

Stimulus generalization

Engaging in a different response under the same conditions is known as

Response generalization

This refers to behavior that has come under the sole control of one characteristic of a stimulus

Stimulus overselectivity

Which of the following was a way Stokes and Baer (1977) outlined to promote generalization?

Train loosely

Within the Autism Partnership Method what is one consideration to promote generalization?

Type of reinforcementthat is varied across different contexts.

Behavior continuing following the conclusion of teaching is commonly referred to as

Maintenance

One way to help promote maintenance is to

Fade toward naturally occurring contingencies

This refers to a condition in which the rate, latency, duration, or amplitude of a response is altered in the presence of a stimulus.

Stimulus control

When a stimulus delta is presented a particular response is

less likely to occur

This term is commonly used to describe providing reinforcement in the presence of one stimulus but not in the presence of another

Discrimination training

Which type of discrimination is occurring when touching a picture of pizza always results in reinforcement?

Simple discrimination

Touching a picture of pizza only results in reinforcement after the instruction ‘touch pizza’ is provided describes which type of discrimination

Conditional

Breaking down a skill down into its component steps is known as

Task analysis

Targeting each step of a task analysis individually starting with the first step is referred to as

Forward chaining

Targeting all steps of the task analysis simultaneously is known as

Total task

Targeting each step of a task analysis individually starting with the last step is referred to as

Backward chaining
