DEP-3103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Corrective Feedback, Forward Chaining, Stimulus Control
Document Summary
Simple discrimination one response occurs in the presence of one sd (swinging to hit a baseball; saying thank you when given something) Complex behavior consisting of many component behaviors that occur together in a sequence. Behavior composed of two or more stimulus-response components. Sd3 r3 (one discriminative stimulus causes one response, which leads to the next, and so o(cid:374) (cid:895) E. g. , sd = gum in your pocket: reach into pocket, pull out pack of gum, pull out single stick, unwrap, (etc. ) *each prior response becomes the sd of the next step. *sds and responses are different in each step. The sd is a stimulus (produced by the preceding response) We engage in a chain because there is a reinforcing consequence (the pleasure of chewing the gum, in the previous example) An establishing operation (eo) may make the gum more reinforcing at a particular gum (e. g. , having bad breath may make chewing gum more reinforcing)
