PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 16: Classical Conditioning
Document Summary
Chapter 16 transferring behaviour to new settings and making it last: generality of behavioural change. Two types of situations: training situation starting place to strengthen behaviour, target situation: setting we want the behaviour to occur. Behavioural generality consist of: stimulus generalization; response generalization: new behaviour that is not specifically trained; behaviour maintenance. Final stages of training situation similar to the target situation itself. Imagining or simulating yourself in the environment you are going to be in (final setting) and enact the behaviour you are supposed to behave. More variety of stimuli when training will increase generality. Simulate or create training stimuli in the training setting, and ensuring that those same stimuli will be in the target setting: e. g. create a dummy of your crush and say a speech of your love. Brings out desired behaviour under instructions/rules that a person can rehearse in novel situations.
