TOPIC 1: STIMULUS EQUIVALENCE
8 Questions • 10.0% of Exam • Covers the concepts and principles related to stimulus equivalence, including its definitions and implications.
QUESTION 1
Stimulus equivalence
Answer: Equivalence describes the emergence of accurate responding to untrained and nonreinforced stimulusstimulus
relations following the reinforcement of responses to some stimulus-stimulus relations.
QUESTION 2
Equivalence class
Answer: Is the collection of stimuli that evoke the same bx. Once an equivalence class has been established, it remains
functional long after training Crying when you see a dog, but also crying when you see a cat.
QUESTION 3
Why does stimulus equivalence matter
Answer: New forms of stimulus control were created that had never been targeted directly by the teaching procedures
Potential for utilizing an equivalence approach to promote teaching efficiency The equivalence outcome captured the
essence of what is meant when we speak of "symbol" With equivalence procedures, novel behavior is illustrated reliably
and in predictable patterns by the emergent performances on probe trials.

QUESTION 4
Key Outcomes Obtained with Equivalence Approaches
Answer: Class Formation
• Delayed Emergence
• Class Expansion
• Class Merger
• Transfer of
Function
• Contextual Control.
QUESTION 5
Class merger
Answer: A combining of independent equivalence class such that a larger class is established. This is typically
accomplished by teaching a new relation between one member of each of the classes to be combined.
_________ is verified by emergent relations between the other stimuli and from the formerly independent classes.
QUESTION 6
Training structure
Answer: The dimensions of the teaching arrangement One stimulus set (nodal stimulus or node) must beheld in common
across a minimum of two conditional discriminations to provide a basis for all equivalence properties.
QUESTION 7
Response differentiation
Answer: When differential reinforcement is applied consistently within a response class, its triple effect results in a new
response class composed primarily of responses sharing the characteristics of the previously reinforced subclass.
