What are categorized as antecedents?
Anything such as the stimuli, events, or situations that precede a behavioural response (all antecedents are stimuli).
- Provide context in which consequences may occur
What are the types of antecedents?
- Overt antecedents
- Covert antecedents
- Immediate antecedents
- Distant antecedents
What are overt antecedents?
Stimuli directly observable with your senses.
What are covert antecedents?
Internal experiences; not open to observation by others.
What are immediate antecedents?
Occur right before — or overlap with — behaviour.
What are distant antecedents?
(Often covert) stimuli that precede the behaviour by a long time; also can affect behaviour for a long time.
What is stimulus control?
The extent to which an antecedent stimulus can influence performance of a specific behaviour.
- When a stimulus exercises a high degree of stimulus control, the behaviour is highly likely to occur in the presence of the cue
What is a stimulus class?
A category of related stimuli that have the same effect on behaviour.
What is stimulus discrimination training?
Administering a certain consequence for a specific behaviour when a particular stimulus is present, but not when another stimulus is present.
The stimulus discriminated from is represented as the S(D). Any other stimulus is represented as the S-delta.
What is stimulus generalization?
Occurs when a stimulus similar to the S(D) also produces the behaviour.
What is a generalization gradient?
Stimuli most similar to the S(D) produce the strongest response. This effect weakens as stimulus decreasing in relativity to the original S(D) are less similar.
What is stimulus equivalence?
Two or more different stimuli that can be used for the same purpose.
