Stimulus generalization refers to responding

(all of the above)

A child is taught to write their name with a marker on the classroom whiteboard. Later, on the playground, they write their name in the sandbox with a STICK. This is an example of

(all of the above) -stimulus generalization. -setting/situation generalization. -response generalization.

In a group therapy session held in the office, a child has attained a rate of 8 interactions per hour, but this decreases to 3 per hour when the session is held elsewhere.

There is a stimulus change decrement of 5.

A stimulus change decrement occurs when a decrease in responding is due to

a change in the SD.

A stimulus generalization gradient refers to

a graphical display of a change in responding as a function of varying a property of the SD.

On a generalization gradient, the HIGHEST response rates are associated with stimuli that

are identical to the original stimulus.

On a generalization gradient, the LOWEST response rates are associated with stimuli that

are several degrees different from the original stimulus.

Stimulus generalization refers to responding

emitted under loose stimulus control.

Rate of responding as a function of the variation of a property of a controlling stimulus describes a

generalization gradient.

If discrimination exists with respect to a stimulus, this would be indicated on a generalization gradient by

high response rates to the original stimulus and Iow response rates to dissimilar stimuli.

Stimulus generalization occurs when a behavior is evoked by stimuli that are similar to an SD because they share similar

physical properties.

A child is taught to write their name with a marker on the classroom whiteboard. Later, they write their name on the whiteboard with their FINGER. This is an example of

response generalization.

A worker has been trained to examine bottles of beer as they move past a light on a conveyor belt, and to remove any bottles containing beer that looks cloudy. Later, the worker is assigned the same task at another station on the assembly line. Performing that task in the new location is an example of

stimulus generalization.

The x-axis of a stimulus generalization gradient represents

the range of values over which a parameter of an SD changes.

The y-axis of a stimulus generalization gradient represents

the rate or amount of the target behavior.

Stimulus generalization refers to responding

to critical stimuli with varied non-critical properties.

Stimulus generalization refers to responding

under different conditions than when the response was learned.

The effect of conditioning on future responding is strongest

when conditions are the same as those during training.
