Front 1

When discussing programming of generality of behavior, whatdo we mean by the training situation versus the target situation?

Back 1

Training situation is the setting in which the behavior isinitially strengthened while the target situation is the setting in which wewant the behavior to occur.

Front 2

Define stimulus generalization and give anexample that is not in this chapter.

Back 2

Stimulus generalization is the procedure of reinforcing a response in the presence of a particular stimulus or situation and the effect of the response becoming more probable in the presence of a stimulus or situation. For example, when preparing for sport competition, an athlete does training within his respective location so that he can gain the necessary power which he will use during the actual competition

Front 3

List four tactics for programming operantstimulus generalization. Give an example of each.

Back 3

a. Training in the target situation: For example, whentraining for a presentation, the students carries out a training practicewithin the same room where the presentation will take place

b. Vary the training condition: For example, an athlete maytrain in different environmental condition such as windy, hot or cold climate.
c. Program common stimuli: For example, a skater may use self-mediatedstimulus and transfer the skills from skate training to competition
d. Train sufficient stimulus exemplars: For example, teaching a personabout dogs may entail giving many examples of dogs in order for the person tounderstand

Front 4

Define response generalization.

Back 4

Procedure of reinforcing a response in the presence of astimulus or situation and the effect of another response becoming more probable in the presence of thatsituation.ion.

Front 5

Describe an example of unlearned responsegeneralization due to physical similarity of responses, and give an example

Back 5

The more physically similar two responses arethe more unlearned response generalization will occur between them. For example,if a person learns a forehand shot in basketball, chances are that the sameperson will be able to perform a forehand shot in tennis. This is because theresponses involved in tennis and basketball are similar.

Front 6

List TWO tactics for programming operantresponse generalization. Give an example of each.

Back 6

a. Vary the acceptable response during training: For example,child creativity can be increased if the responses are varied when performing agiven task
b. Capitalize on behavior momentum: For example, when a child positivebehavior is initiated, the responses that are developed should increase the behavioreven further.

Front 7

Define behavioral trap, and give an example.

Back 7

A behavioral trap is a contingency in which a behavior that has been developed by programmed reinforcers is trapped or maintained by natural reinforcers.

An example include an athlete who develops exercising behaviors, such behaviors are maintained due to the benefits that are associated with training.

Front 8

Briefly describe four tactics for programming operant behavior maintenance. Give an example of each

Back 8

a. Use of behavior trapping which allow natural contingencies of reinforcement to take place. Example include an athlete who develop training behaviors which become reinforced by the benefits of training

b. Change the behavior of people in the natural environment. An example includes working with employees in order to change their behaviors towards the organization management and so as to develop a more fulfilling customer service.

Front 9

Briefly describe four tactics for programming operant behavior maintenance. Give an example of each

Back 9

c. Use of intermittent schedules of reinforcement in the target situation. For example, use of a timer game to maintain desirable play behaviors
d. Give the control to the individual. For example, training employees on the production process in order to increase their production and increase their knowledge
