Equivalence-based instruction (EBI)
Teaching method that combines stimulus equivalence and programmed instruction. Aims to create instruction that maximizes learning outcomes and generalization. A small amount of instruction can lead to a lot of unlearned relations that were not directly targeted.
Equivalence-based instruction (EBI)
Final step for stimulus equivalence. When following the transitivity phase, a final symmetry is made, that if C=A, then A=C.
Stimulus equivalence.
Consists of a 3-term contingency.
Simple discrimination.
Breaks material down to teachable/smaller units; designs unit mastery; teaches at client's current level; uses client active responding; provides specific feedback.
Programmed instruction
The sample and comparison stimuli are reversed. Trained matching of symbolic similar items leads to the untrained relations between the reverse relation. If A=B, then B=A.
Symmetry
A form of complex stimulus control in which the role of 1 antecedent stimulus is conditional on the presence of other antecedent stimuli. Consists of a 4-term contingency with 2 antecedent stimuli based on multiple characteristics.
Conditional discrimination.
Product of equivalence-based instruction (EBI). Responding that is defined by the formation of relations that are based on a variety of relations between 2 or more stimuli and this relation is formed without direct training, but as a result of indirect training.
Derived stimulus relation
East matching-to-sample. When the client matches two identical stimuli. A=A
Reflexivity.
A theory that emphasizes that, in the course of our lives, we are able to derive many relations known as frames.
Relational Frame Theory (RFT)
The emergence of accurate responding to un-trained and non-reinforced stimulus-stimulus relations following the training of some correct stimulus-stimulus relations. Requires a minimum of 3-member stimulus class: if A=B, and B=C, then A=C.
Stimulus equivalence
A derived stimulus relation that results from the training of 2 other stimulus-stimulus relations. If there is an A=B relation and B=C relation, then what emerges is the A=C relation, even though it was never taught directly.
Transitivity.
Frame
4 parts of stimulus equivalence
reflexivity, symmetry, transitivity, stimulus equivalence.
Collection of stimuli that evoke the same behavior due to the individual consistently responding in the 3 categories of stimulus equivalence.
Equivalence class
Derived relations.
