Q

4 parts of imitation you need and don’t need

A
  1. Physical movement (don’t need b/c it’s self evident)
  2. Immediacy (don’t need because no objective definition of immediate)
  3. Formal similarity- response products are the same (need)
  4. Controlling varaible between SD and response (need)
2
Q

Response products

A

The stimuli that a behavior produces.

For example: clapping produces a sound and a visual.

3
Q

Why is there no such thing as generalized imitation

A

Once a behavior becomes to complex it is impossible to imitate.

4
Q

Generalized trying

A

Due to incentive (MO) person will try to imitate the model. L

5
Q

Shaping

A

Differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.

Use of extinction an reinforcement

6
Q

Shaping limitations and which one is the only true imitation

A
  1. Time consuming (only true limitation)
  2. Non-linear
  3. Consistently monitoring the behavior you’re shaping
  4. Can be misapplied
  5. Shape harmful Bx

2-5 ate limitation to every principle or of human Bx.

7
Q

Why is pain onset not an SD

A

It has not been related to the differential availability of pain offset.

8
Q

Why is DRO not a R procedure.

A

Because it doesn’t increase similar responses under similar conditions.

9
Q

How is differential reinforcement related to shaping

A

You are reinforcing behaviors that share a predetermined dimension and not reinforcing behaviors that do not share that quality.

10
Q

How is response differentiation related to shaping

A

After differential reinforcement is used its dual effects result in a new response class. This is response differentiation

11
Q

Behavior chain

A

A specific sequence of discrete responses each associated with a particular stimulus condition

12
Q

Task analysis

A

Breaking a complex skill into smaller teachable units.

  1. Observe competent individuals
  2. Consult with experts or people skilled in the task
  3. Perform behaviors on oneself
13
Q

What FBA enable

A

Enables hypotheses.

  1. Play (control)
  2. Contingent attention
  3. Contingent escape
  4. Alone
14
Q

Two points related to topography and function

A

Two different topographies can have the same function an two of the same topographies can have different functions.
