<p> Chapter 14 Imitation ANSWERS</p><p>REVIEW: Please write the definition model of behavior analysis, all behavior for generalized imitation will maintain only if it is immediately reinforced. In the case that we are ANSWER: presenting here, generalized imitative Generalized Imitation – Imitation of responses are maintained despite what the response of a model without previous would seem like the absence of reinforcement for imitation of that reinforcement. However, according to specific response. the theory of generalized reinforcement, these novel imitative responses ARE 28. The theory of generalized imitation. reinforced with imitative reinforcers. Therefore this theory provides a way to a. Explain the theory. explain why we observe generalized imitation using the behavior analytic ANSWER: model. Generalized imitative responses occur ------because they automatically produce imitative reinforcers. Imitative Reinforcement reinforcers are the stimuli arising from the match between the behavior of the SD: imitator and the behavior of the model Model makes a NOVEL that function as reinforcers. These response generalized imitative responses will After: maintain only if other imitative Imitator has responses have occurred and been learned reinforced previously. imitative reinforcers Before: Behavior: b. Draw a generic diagram Imitator has no Imitator makes illustrating generalized imitation. learned a NOVEL imitative response reinforcers ANSWER: After: Imitator has no (See the diagram on the right) learned imitative c. Explain the need for the theory of SΔ: reinforcers generalized imitation Model does not make a ANSWER: novel response We need a theory that explains why, seemingly, an imitator will perform a response when no reinforcement occurs for that response.
