Study Notes
Response Generalization
- Response generalization occurs when variations in behavior contribute to shaping new behaviors.
- Examples include a child learning to sign "I love you" with both hands or adapting behavior to new contexts, such as reaching for cookies in a cabinet instead of climbing.
- The phenomenon indicates the ability to apply learned skills in slightly altered forms.
Stimulus Generalization
- Stimulus generalization refers to behavior being evoked by stimuli similar to the original discriminative stimulus (SD) because they share physical properties.
- Behavior may occur in the presence of irrelevant stimuli, demonstrating loose stimulus control.
- Different behaviors can be exhibited under critical stimulus properties while non-critical properties may vary.
Generalization Gradient
- The generalization gradient illustrates the rate of responding based on the variation of a property in a controlling stimulus.
- Peak response rates are associated with the original stimulus, while response rates decrease for stimuli that differ significantly.
- If discrimination exists, high response rates will occur for the original stimulus with low rates for dissimilar stimuli.
Stimulus Change Decrement
- A stimulus change decrement can occur when there's a decrease in responding due to a change in the SD.
- Example: In group therapy, a child's interaction rate drops from 8 to 3 when the session is held elsewhere, indicating a decrement of 5.
Contextual Influences
- Variations in behavior may arise from extinction processes or changes in context that impact learned responses.
- Stimulus properties play a crucial role in how behaviors are generalized or altered across different scenarios, leading to practical applications in learning and behavior management.
