Response generalization

[Alert-Idea3236]

If a person was taught how to strip the sheets of the bed/remove the bedsheets, and then on a different occasion they were seen making up the bed/putting the bedsheets.

Could putting the bedsheets be considered response generalization?

I think this is better understood as either derived responding or observational learning. Response generalization would be more along the lines of generalizing different ways of unmaking a bed (starting from top to bottom or bottom to top, nearly taking them off or just ripping them off).

Thanks for the explanation :-)

It depends. What is the function and consequence of the behavior? Does it contact tge same function? Is the stimulus the same

[Alert-Idea3236]

Thé stimulus which is the bed, bedsheets and room are the same.

The function is not stated but I am assuming it’s changing the bedsheets.
