Stimulus Equivalence
When the learner is able to engage in a matched sample in which they are NOT taught that "A = A" but are still able to match the stimuli.
What is 'reflexive'
Stimulus relations that are not taught directly but EMERGE as an indirect function of related instruction or experience
What is 'emergent stimulus relations'
These involve responding to stimuli in terms of their differences
What is 'distinction relations'
The cornerstone for behavior change
What is 'reinforcement'
Instruction that provides the learner with practice with a variety of stimulus conditions, response variations, and response topographies to ensure the acquisition of desired stimulus control forms; response forms; used to promote both setting/situation generalization and response generalization
What is 'multiple exemplar training'
A learner demonstrates THIS when they are independently able to engage in a matched sample where they are taught "A = B" and then discover that "B = A" by default
What is 'symmetry'
A benefit to equivalence based instruction
"What is 'free learning'
In opposition relations, stimuli are ...
What is 'opposites'
The reinforcement of successive approximations toward a terminal goal
What is 'shaping'
John has been told to look both ways before crossing the road, every time he is at a crosswalk, he looks both ways. This behavior is an example of...
The behavior analyst most commonly associated for the discovery and research on stimulus equivalence
Who is 'Sidman'
A potential challenge or negative aspect of equivalence based instruction
What is 'negatively associated stimuli'
Various types of derived stimulus relations tend to emerge gradually during child development
What is 'Intellectual development'
Constellations got its name from a song written by what famous singer/song writer
Who is 'Jack Johnson'
A theory of derived stimulus relations proposing that stimulus relations are inherently verbal and that accumulated experience with relational exemplars creates generalized repertoires of relating.
What is 'relational frame theory'
An emergent relationship that is produced when two other stimulus-stimulus relationships have been mastered
What is 'transitivity'
This occurs when teaching a new function for one member of an established equivalence class results in the same function holding for all members of the class.
What is 'transfer of function'
Stimuli to which people respond in interlocked ways, not because of physical similarity, but because social-verbal reinforcement contingencies teach people to respond to them in this way.
What is 'arbitrary relations'
What is 'leaders in the field'
A behavioral effect associated with abrupt increases in ratio requirements when moving from denser to thinner reinforcement schedules; common effects include avoidance, aggression, and unpredictable pauses or cessation in responding.
What is 'ratio strain'
Performance in a match-to-sample procedure in which discrimination between the comparison stimuli is conditional on, or depends on, the sample stimulus present on each trial
What is 'conditional discrimination'
Another term for emergent stimulus relations
What is 'derived stimulus relations'
One practical consideration for using transformation of function is to create new...
What is 'reinforcers'
A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is provided at the end of a predetermined interval contingent on the number of responses emitted during the interval being greater than a gradually increasing criterion based on the individual's performance in previous intervals.
Interventions that use mainly verbally guided exercises to disrupt inflexibility and to potentiate behavior that contribute to wellbeing.
