The teacher is teaching a kiddo to wash his hands after he goes to the bathroom. to maintain the behavior, the teacher has visual prompts, and then at the end, everyone sings the rubber ducky song to celebrate cleaning their hands. After a while, teh visual fade away and so does the additional R+

my sister is learning to make eggs, she makes then scrambled, then she makes then boiled, then she makes them sunny side up. What am I ?

response Generalization! It is the same stimulus (eggs) with different responses of MAKING eggs, the response is FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT (you eat the eggs).

I go to my boyfriends house, where I talk freely and make jokes that people laugh at. But when I go to my parents house, I do not make those jokes or talk freely. What is my parents house called in regards to stimulus control of telling jokes?

Simple discrimination!

When the drivers ed teacher is teaching a student to break at a stop light, a stop sign, and if there is a yield with a car coming 

a) non-exemplars 

b) Exemplars 

c) Common stimuli 


B Exemplars #stimulus generalization 

Sufficient response examples 

#response generalization

My sister is learning to shop at a local store independently  at school, they set up the classroom to look like a target. They go online and pick what they want, show it to the "Cashier" and then "pay" for it with a fake credit card. 

a) Common Stimuli 

b) Non-Exemplars 

c) General Case Analysis

a) Common Stimuli #same stimuli in real environment

The barbies are all saying hello to each other #echoic. Then each ken is saying hello. First ryan gosling's Ken  (HOT) says hi to you. You say "Hi ken!" Then Simu  (backflipping Ken) says hi to you. You say "Hi ken!" Then, ANOTHER ken says hi to you and you say "Hi Ken!"  Then Alan says hello to you, and you say "Hi!" What am I? 

I am stimulus generalization! Even though they are about the same Ken (sorta kinda) they are different stimuli, with the same response of saying hello!

I am feeling nauseous and think that I am feeling hungry. In front of me I see a towel, a burger, a fork, and a lamp. Which one is the discriminated stimulus that would be under the control of eating? 

The burger!

I am a 4 term contingency, what am I?

Conditional discrimination!

When a mom is teaching a kid to put on pants, and switches up when they button up their pants, vs. zip, or which leg to put in first. 

a) general case analysis 

b) self management 

c) Teach loosely 

d) Non exemplars 

c) Teach loosely #loose ponytail #vary insignificant elements

My boyfriend thanks me on a VR 3 when I take out the trash. Sometimes, when I take out the trash consistently, I also receive a kiss! 

a) Commn stimuli 

b) mediation 

c) indiscriminable contingencies 

C) Indiscriminable contingencies #natural environment 2 WAYS delayed rewards or intermittent schedules

Kai is learning to take pictures with the characters at Disney Land. She goes up to Mickey, and smiles for the camera, she goes up to Goofy, and smiles at the camera, and goes up to Daisy duck and smiles at the camera. What am I?

I have multiple pictures showing emotions. One picture has a blue background instead of the typical white. What is it called when there is an irrelevant antecedent? 

Faulty stimulus! They will not learn that the emotion but see the blue background (which will come under the faulty stimulus control).

I present a picture of a sad face emoji, and then present the other stimuli (happy face, sad face, and angry face) then say "match sad". They match the sad face with the sad face, and I give them reinforcement. 

What am I? 

Conditional stimuli! Because it is 1) showing a sample card first, then 2) the comparison cards with vocal Sd "match". 3) Then you have the behavior of matching. 4) Then finally the reinforcement of praise.

When I find out my boyfriend REALLY likes titanic, and I find a titanic museum to go to, and then we go to other museums in the city where it talks about titanic, and then museums with trains (he really likes trains) to have an increase in dates nights. 

a) Behavior trap 

b) selfmanagement 

c) Common Stimuli 

a) Behavior trap #baited #effective 4 long time # low response effort.

I am trying to teach my students how to multiply 2 by 3 digit numbers. I think about how I will promote generalization to other numbers (such as 5 digit or 6) with what products will be the outcome such as even products, factors of 6, factors of 3, the steps I will take to teach them how to multiply, and the examples or non-examples I will show them. 

a) General Case analysis 

b) mediation 

c) self management 

A) general Case analysis

I am teaching some kids how to swim. I teach them how to swim with a lifejacket on, then they figure out how to swim with flippers on, and with a pool noodle. What am I? 

I am response generalization with a bonus! Response Induction!! which means that the learner emits the untrained responses that are functionally equivalent. the functionally equivalent part is the response of swimming! then, they can do it INDEPENDENTLY after I teach them ONE WAY is response induction

I am trying to show off my ABA skills on the SNABA app, but my sister is screaming bloody murder in the background, so I keep getting the answers wrong, what am I?

a) masking 

b) overshadowing

c) overselective 

a) masking! Because there are competing stimuli that BLOCKS the evocative effect that I already know #performance deficit #knower not a shower

A) Common stimuli 

b) non-examples 

C) Mediation

Give me an example of a behavior trap 

nice!

I swallow a pill for tylonal, adderall, and migraine meds. THEN I see a glass bead on the floor. I pick it up but DO NOT swallow it. 

I am two things, what am I ?

I am stimulus generalization and stimulus discrimination! I am different stimuli with teh same response of swallow! BUT I alse discriminated that the bead CANNOT be swallowed!

I am trying to listen and LEARN in on the collective class, but I can hear my boyfriend playing super mario bros in the background and really want to play. What am I? 

a) Masking

b)Stimulus salience 

c) overshadowing 


c) overshadowing! I am trying to LEARN #acquisition but another stimulus interferes #presents learning #don't have the skill

a kid checks to see if mom is in a good mood when in the kitchen with  the cookie jar,  then teh kid asks "can I have a cookie please mom?" then recieves teh cookie 

Conditional discrimination! The kid is checking to see if the mom is happy, as it is conditional on his response with the cookie jar present whether he will ask for a cookie or not # a bit toxic.
