Stimulus Generalization In Operant Conditioning
A teacher has successfully conditioned a student to sit quietly during silent reading time, and the student's disruptive behaviors have been extinguished. If the student experiences stimulus generalization, the student will most likely
A
experience a sudden return of disruptive behaviors, such as talking and walking around, until reinforcements are reestablished
B
resume talking and leaving his seat after being reprimanded for an entirely different negative behavior
C
remain seated and quiet even during a whole-group activity that requires students to move around
D
expect a reward for sitting quietly during silent reading time rather than receiving a punishment for disruptive behavior
