The Generalized Effects of Productive Labeling Training Involving Common Object Classes
TLDR
In this paper, a mentally retarded subject demonstrated, by matching-to-sample, appropriate classification of common stimuli (i.e., cars, bowls, hats, dolls, shoes, and books).Abstract:
Initially, a mentally retarded subject demonstrated, by matching-to-sample, appropriate classification of common stimuli (i.e., cars, bowls, hats, dolls, shoes, and books). Next he was taught to produce the correct verbal label (e.g., “bowl”) for one member of each class. For four of the six stimulus classes, a single training example was not sufficient to produce generalization of the label to nontraining examples in the same class. However, each successive addition of one training example generally produced a systematic increase in the level of generalization. The specific number of training examples sufficient to produce generalization varied across the six experimental classes. In addition, receptive labelling probes, conducted after each successful demonstration of generalization in the productive modality, demonstrated no systematic changes in the accuracy of responses as productive training progressed. It was concluded that automatic generalization within or across response modalities Is not necess...read more

Responding in the Presence of Nontrained Stimuli: Implications of Generalization Error Patterns
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of generalization failures (i.e., the patterns of generalisation errors) and link these errors back to stimulus characteristics present during training.

Toward an Explicit Analysis of Generalization: A Stimulus Control Interpretation
TL;DR: It is argued that the principles of stimulus control and reinforcement underlie the production of most generalized effects; therefore, it is suggested interpreting generalization programming in terms of stimulus Control.

Naming, the formation of stimulus classes, and applied behavior analysis
TL;DR: A stimulus class analysis suggests ways to examine the problem of programming generalization from teaching situations to other environments, the expansion of the repertoires that occur in those settings, and the use of naming to facilitate these forms of generalization.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the response variations taught during general case instruction played a major role in improved performance across the nontrained shirts.
