Exam 19: Promoting Generalization

Joe attends a class in order to learn to use a computer.Joe takes notes during the class, and uses the notes to operate his own computer when he gets home.Using the notes from the computer class to use his computer at home is an example of which strategy for promoting generalization?

Self recording may be an example of a self-generated mediator of generalization.

A psychologist is working with a child who becomes aggressive when he is teased by other children.The psychologist uses role plays involving examples of the problem situations that the child may face, in order to teach the child the appropriate skills necessary to deal with any situation that may arise.Which strategy for promoting generalization is being used?

When reinforcing a behavior that occurs outside the training situation in the presence of relevant stimuli, the relevant stimuli develop ___________ over the behavior.

A teacher is helping a withdrawn child to increase his interaction with other students.The teacher has the other children in the classroom smile and compliment the child when he talks to them.The teacher also instructs the other children not to laugh when the withdrawn child has problems speaking.Which strategy for promoting generalization is the teacher using?

Which strategy for promoting generalization involves teaching skills that will lead to reinforcement in relevant situations in the natural environment?

Which of the following is NOT a guideline for promoting a generalized reduction in problem behaviors?

The constructional approach to the treatment of problem behaviors involves:

If a child learns to hit a baseball from several different pitchers, standing in several different positions during practice, generalization has occurred.

Identifying target stimulus situations and natural contingencies of reinforcement for the target behavior should take place:

What is a generalized reduction in a problem?

Another way to promote generalization if reinforcing the behavior outside of training sessions is not feasible, is to ___________.

TFWhen an intervention consists only of an extinction or punishment procedure, a generalized reduction in the problem is unlikely to occur.

Matthew's baseball coach is helping him improve his hitting.During practice the coach has the pitcher throw fast balls, curve balls, and sliders so that Matthew experiences a variety of pitches, and will be more likely to hit the ball successfully during a game.Which strategy for promoting generalization is the coach using?

Which of the following strategies for promoting generalization does NOT focus on reinforcing the target behavior outside the training situation?

Describe general case programming.

What does it mean to say that the treatment for a problem behavior has generalized?

It is important to only focus on one particular relevant situation when training an individual.

Promoting generalization through the use of multiple training examples that sample from the range of relevant stimulus situations and response variations is referred to as ____________ programming.

The strategy for promoting generalization that uses self-instructions as a cue to engage in the appropriate behavior is referred to as:
