Practice Questions and Answers
Which of the following statements is correct?
Statement 1: After training A=B and B=C, an A=C relation emerged, and all three stimuli (A, B, and C) can
evoke the same response class. This means that stimulus generalization has occurred.
(HINT: A, B, and C, in this case, should be in an arbitrary stimulus class, is stimulus generalization a
characteristic of arbitrary stimulus classes?)
Statement 2: An individual has learned to correctly perform a task when presented with Stimulus A in
Setting A. If this individual can perform the same task in Setting B without being trained, setting
generalization has occurred.

Neither statement is correct. - Ans:✔✔-Only statement 2 is correct.
Which of the following statements is correct about a matching-to-sample task?
Statement 1: Whether a specific comparison stimulus acts as an SD or an S𝛥 is determined by the
conditional stimulus.
Statement 2: Whether a response to a specific comparison stimulus will produce reinforcement depends
on the context in which that response is made.
(HINT: In a matching-to-sample task, a child is presented with a number of different stimuli and selection
of the stimulus is based on the sample.)

Which of the following two scenarios is an example of response generalization?
Scenario 1: Stylax's mom taught him how to use cash to buy groceries. One day, Stylax saw his mom's
credit card. Without learning, he took the credit card and pay for his groceries.
(HINT: Did Stylax learn the use of credit card? Was the function of the novel response the same as the
learned response?)
Scenario 2: Stylax's mom taught him how to use their rice cooker to make rice. One day, Stylax saw a
pressure cooker similar to their rice cooker. Without training, he cooked rice using the pressure cooker
with the same method as the rice cooker.
