Stimulus Control and Generalization

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Autism Service Delivery

Part of the book series: Autism and Child Psychopathology Series ((ACPS))

Abstract

The ability to identify possible sources of stimulus control, and to increase or decrease them, as necessary, is essential to effective autism service delivery. Thus, familiarity with the fundamentals of stimulus control should hold special significance for applied behavior analysts working in the autism field. This chapter provides an overview of some major areas of basic laboratory-based stimulus control research in behavior analysis, with particular attention paid to topics of potential relevance in the application of stimulus control procedures. Defining characteristics of three-, four-, and five-term contingencies are described here, issues in establishing these forms of stimulus control are discussed, and the nature of the stimulus classes that can result in each case are explored. While emphasizing behavior–environment interactions throughout, the literature reviewed here ranges from analysis of each element of an n-term contingency to syntheses of complex human repertoires. This inductive and translational approach stands to be enhanced, however, by appropriate integration of laboratory findings with applications in autism service delivery. The experimental behavior-analytic literature has important lessons to offer those practitioners wishing to better understand the stimulus control principles that can improve intervention effectiveness.
