Miss Kennedy wants Oliver to learn the skills necessary to successfully participate in a job interview. She provides simulated training opportunities with Oliver that incorporate the same questions an interviewer would ask and the same evironmental configuration. In addition, she has Oliver wear the outfit he will wear to his interview. Which technique for prompting generalization is Miss Kennedy using with Oliver?
-
Program common stimuli
-
Train loosely
-
Train sifficient exemplars
-
Use indiscriminable contingencies
Correct Answer
A. Program common stimuliExplanation
Miss Kennedy is using the technique of "programming common stimuli" with Oliver. This means that she is creating training opportunities that incorporate the same questions and environmental configuration as a real job interview. By doing this, she is helping Oliver to generalize his skills and knowledge from the training to the actual interview setting. Additionally, by having Oliver wear the outfit he will wear to his interview, she is further enhancing the common stimuli and preparing him for the specific context of the job interview.Rate this question:

This procedure of generalization requires that the procedure successfully used to change a behavior in one setting be applied to all the settings in which the desired behavior change should occur.
-
Train and hope
-
Train loosely
-
Train sifficient exemplars
-
Use indiscriminable contingencies
Correct Answer
A. Train sifficient exemplarsExplanation
The procedure of generalization requires that the behavior change that was successful in one setting should be applied to all the other settings where the desired change is needed. To achieve this, it is necessary to train a sufficient number of exemplars, which means providing enough examples or instances of the desired behavior in various settings. By doing so, individuals will have a better understanding and ability to generalize the behavior change across different situations.Rate this question:

Wehn teaching students to generalize, this procedure provides that the teacher delivers reinforcement only for responses that are different from previous repsonses to the cue.
-
Stimulus generalization
-
Lag schedule of reinforcement
-
Differential reinforcement
-
Response generalization
Correct Answer
A. Lag schedule of reinforcementExplanation
A lag schedule of reinforcement is a procedure where the teacher delivers reinforcement only for responses that are different from previous responses to the cue. This means that the teacher is encouraging students to generalize their learning by responding in new and varied ways. By reinforcing only novel responses, students are motivated to think creatively and explore different possibilities, leading to a broader understanding and application of the learned concept. This technique helps in promoting stimulus generalization and response generalization among students.Rate this question:

Ms. Wilson's class went two days a week to work at a local grocery store. To assist with generalization, such as sorting, she created a simulation of the grocery store in their classroom. This is an example of teaching gerneralization using:
-
Indiscriminable contingencies
-
Programming common stimuli
-
Training loosely
-
General case programming
Correct Answer
A. Programming common stimuliExplanation
This scenario describes Ms. Wilson creating a simulation of a grocery store in the classroom to assist with generalization. By replicating the common stimuli found in a real grocery store, she is programming common stimuli to teach generalization. This means that she is exposing her students to the same or similar stimuli that they would encounter in the actual setting, helping them to transfer their learning and skills from the classroom to the real world.Rate this question:

Students may be trained to be reinforced by generalization as a response class. This is described as:
-
Programming common stimuli
-
General case programming
-
Training to generalize
-
Training sifficient exemplars
Correct Answer
A. Training to generalizeExplanation
The correct answer is "training to generalize." This refers to the process of teaching students to respond to a variety of stimuli that share common characteristics. By training students to generalize, they are able to apply their learned skills and knowledge to different situations or contexts. This helps them to transfer their learning from one setting to another, increasing their overall understanding and ability to adapt to new situations.Rate this question:

A driver is taught to push the accelerator when the traffic light turn green. While at work, she opens the dishwasher door, only when the light turns green. This is an example of:
-
Stimulus generalization
-
Response maintenance
-
Behavioral presistance
-
Response generalization
Correct Answer
A. Response generalizationExplanation
Response generalization refers to the tendency of a learned response to be emitted in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus. In this case, the driver has generalized the response of pushing the accelerator when the traffic light turns green to opening the dishwasher door when the light turns green. The driver is applying the same response to a different situation that shares similar features, demonstrating response generalization.Rate this question:

Ms. Coulter was successful using a token reinforcement system with Jordan to decrease his inappropriate behaviors in her class. Mr. Johnson is now going to implement the same toekn system in his class in hopes that Jordan's behavior will improve. This is an example of what generalization technique?
-
Train lossely
-
Sequentially modify
-
Introduce to naturally maintaining contingencies
-
Mediate generalization
Correct Answer
A. Sequentially modifyExplanation
This scenario exemplifies the technique of sequentially modifying. It involves implementing a successful strategy or intervention used in one situation or with one individual and applying it to a different situation or individual in the hopes of achieving similar positive outcomes. In this case, Ms. Coulter's successful use of a token reinforcement system with Jordan has led Mr. Johnson to try the same approach in his class, expecting improvements in Jordan's behavior. This demonstrates the sequential modification of the intervention from one context to another.Rate this question:

Mr. Hawkins wants Abel to learn to purchase a newspaper from a newspaper vending machine. Over two weeks, Abel purchases newspapers from our different newspaper machines. This is an example of what generalization technique?
-
Train loosely
-
Train sifficient exemplars
-
Sequentiallu modify
-
Train to generalize
Correct Answer
A. Train sifficient exemplarsExplanation
This scenario of Mr. Hawkins having Abel purchase newspapers from different vending machines over two weeks demonstrates the generalization technique of training with sufficient exemplars. By exposing Abel to multiple instances of purchasing newspapers from different machines, he is able to generalize his understanding and skills to be able to purchase from any newspaper vending machine. This technique ensures that Abel has enough varied experiences to learn and apply the skill effectively.Rate this question:

Jennifer learns to discriminate between hot and cold be operating the sick controls in the science lab. She has maintained 100% accuracy on the skill over several weeks. When she has to wash her hands in the restroom at Burger Barn next week, it is anticipated that she will independently use the water controls. The generalization technique being used here is:
-
Train loosely
-
Train and hope
-
Use indiscriminable contingencies
-
Program common stimuli
Correct Answer
A. Train and hopeExplanation
The generalization technique being used here is "train and hope". This means that Jennifer has been trained to discriminate between hot and cold water controls in the science lab, and it is hoped that she will be able to independently use the water controls in the restroom at Burger Barn based on her previous training.Rate this question:
