Exam 7: Stimulus Control: Discrimination and Generalization

Stimulus control is developed by stimulus discrimination training.

The relationship between an antecedent, behavior, and consequence is referred to as a(n):

What are the 2 steps involved in stimulus discrimination training?

A(n) ________________ is the stimulus that is present when the behavior is not reinforced.

The effects of reinforcement, extinction and punishment are relatively situation specific.

___________ takes place when a behavior is more likely to occur in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the discriminative stimulus.

Stimulus control develops as a result of

When the family dog licks the faces of the children in the family, they laugh and give the dog a treat.When the dog licks the faces of the parents, they scold the dog.As a result, the dog no longer licks the faces of the parents, but continues to lick the faces of the children.The children's faces would be an example of a(n) ________ for the dog licking their faces:

Which of the following is developed through discrimination training?

In behavior modification, when a certain behavior occurs in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the discriminative stimulus during stimulus discrimination training, ____________ has occurred.

A behavior is more likely to occur in the presence of the Sᴰ.

Stimulus discrimination training can occur as a result of:

In behavior modification, the stimulus that is present when a behavior occurs is referred to as a(n):

Provide an example of stimulus discrimination training.Identify the Sᴰ and the S-delta.

A behavior is less likely to occur in the presence of the Sᴰ.

Darin cheers at a football game when his hometown team scores, and his Dad gives him a high five.Darin later begins cheering with his Dad at basketball, baseball, and hockey games when his hometown teams score.This is an example of Darin's cheering behavior____________ to other situations.

Bill drives faster than the speed limit only when his friends are in the car with him because they tell him he is cool.He doesn't speed when his parents or girlfriend are in the car because they don't say it's cool.What is the Sᴰ in this example?

Generalization is associated with broad stimulus control.

When a(n) ____________ is present the behavior is more likely to occur.

Understanding the antecedents of operant behavior provides information on the circumstances in which the behavior was:
