FAQ
Two major assumptions of Spence's discrimination learning theory were confirmed: (a) learning is continuous, and (b) discriminative stimuli in simple discrimination tasks of both simultaneous and successive types are compounds with position elements as well as elements from the relevant visual dimension.
Discrimination is defined as the disadvantaging of a minority group by a majority group, often rooted in discourse and negatively valued in contemporary society. It involves a rhetoric of denial and mitigation, with variations in political expressions between mainstream and extreme parties.
Theories of Discrimination Several theories have shaped our understanding of intergroup relations, prejudice and discrimination, and we focus on four here: the social identity perspective, the 'behaviours from inter- group affect and stereotypes' map, aversive racism theory and system justification theory.
Discrimination is usually the behavioral manifestation of prejudice and therefore involves negative, hostile, and injurious treatment of the members of rejected groups. By contrast, reverse discrimination is the favorable treatment of the oppressed group rather than the typically favored group.
Discrimination, in psychology, the ability to perceive and respond to differences among stimuli. It is considered a more advanced form of learning than generalization (q.v.), the ability to perceive similarities, although animals can be trained to discriminate as well as to generalize.
A simplified description of the legal definition of discrimination is when a person is treated disfavourably or when a person's dignity is violated.
An example of a discriminative stimulus is when a child engages in the target behavior of cleaning their room when a parent is present, but not engaging in the behavior when the parent is not present. The parent is the discriminative stimulus they influences the target behavior of cleaning the room.
Discrimination is negative action toward an individual as a result of one's membership in a particular group (Allport, 1954; Dovidio & Gaertner, 2004). As a result of holding negative beliefs (stereotypes) and negative attitudes (prejudice) about a particular group, people often treat the target of prejudice poorly.
Discrimination training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy involves the use of various techniques to teach individuals to differentiate between different stimuli and respond appropriately. These techniques play a crucial role in promoting skill development and enhancing learning outcomes.
