Question 3: Define or describe eachof the following and give a sport example of each that are not in this chapter. (a)good stimulus control b) SD (discriminative stimulus) c) SE: |
a) good stimulus control: a strong correlation between the occurrence of a particular stimulus and the occurrence of a particular response ex. The whistle sound a referee makes increases the probability of the play stopping b) SD (discriminative stimulus): a signal that a particular response will pay off. Ex. A basketball player looking to make a pass. The appearance of one of their teammates being open is an SD - a cue that passing to this teammate will reinforce a successful pass. c) SE: An event is an SE is a signal that a particular response will not pay off.

Question 6: Describe two typicaldifferences between contingency learned versus rule-governed behaviour. P.61 |
