Study Notes
Response Class
- Defined as a set of behaviors influenced by the same outcome or consequence.
- Behaviors within a response class are either reinforced or diminished based on shared results.
Stimulus Class
- Comprises at least two stimuli sharing a commonality.
- Can be identified using three main criteria: functional, formal, or temporary classifications.
Functional Definition
- All stimuli within a class impact behavior in a similar manner.
- Reflects the functional relationships between stimuli and resulting behaviors.
Formal Definition
- Stimuli in a class share identical physical characteristics.
- Emphasizes the sensory attributes that classify stimuli together.
Temporary Definition
- Stimuli within a class are distinguished by their roles as either antecedent (preceding) or postcedent (following).
- Focuses on the timing and sequence of stimuli in relation to behavior.
