Stimulus Equivalence Training Refers To Procedures In Which

Accurate responding to an untrained undiscriminated stimulus demonstrating reflexivity symmetry transitivity.

Stimulus equivalence training refers to procedures in which. Equivalence based instruction ebi refers to a set of procedures in which overlapping conditional discriminations among stimuli are taught resulting in the emergence of additional derived relations without further training. However the matching to sample procedure resulted in the development of equivalence within fewer training trials than the stimulus pairing observation procedure. When a driver approaches a red light he puts his foot on the brake pedal.

The term stimulus control refers to any difference in responding in the presence of different stimuli catania 1992 p. The expe rimental procedures that have typically been used to examine stimulus equivalence are then considered before focusing on a series of studies that have developed two alternative procedures for analyzing equivalence class formation. But only some of the relations are trained.

All three are emergent behaviours. I e when stimulus generalisation occurs an individual learns to respond to all stimuli in a set as if they are interchangeable. Question 6 selected answer.

C two or more different stimuli are treated in the same fashion. The stimulus pairing observation and matching to sample procedures were found to be equally effective in terms of accuracy achieved on the equivalence tests. Are called equivalence tests sidman 1990.

B the same response to two or more different stimuli results in different reinforcers. Stimulus equivalence procedures have been applied not only to linguistic and academic skills but also to basic skills for social behavior such as name face matching cowley green braunling mcmorrow 1992 discriminations between age appropriate and age inappropriate items haring breen laitinen 1989 and. Matching to sample and stimulus equivalence.

When the stimulus pairing observation procedure was used more participants demonstrated equivalence with the one to many arrangement than with the many to one or linear. The respondent type training procedure and the precursor to the relational evaluation procedure. In the absence of direct training the operant matches a stimulus to itself shown a picture of a bike the operant choses the picture of a bike not the car or house.
