The first of many techniques called “Train and Hope” is very common in examining generalization in which specific generalization techniques are not programmed or planned …show more content…
This generalization technique uses a more systematic approach at generalization than the “train & Hope” method discussed in the earlier paragraph. The difference is, that the procedures are established if generalization is absent or inadequate. In other words, the particular behavior change is still achieved and generalization is measured, but if generalization is absent or lacking, techniques are introduced to accomplish that desired changed by systematic sequential modification in every non generalized circumstance, across responses, subjects setting or experimenters. Stokes and Baer, 1977 (p. 352). For example if prisoners are faced with situation where they violently act out when faced with adversity, they would then be taught to cope with those feelings or emotions. In therapy, this prisoner could role play different scenarios that cause him or her to violently act out and discuss appropriate ways to handle
