Samenvatting
Within the framework of behaviour theory, the general problem for the learner driver may be described as that of learning the discriminative conditions (or antecedent conditions) under which particular contingencies between behaviour and its consequences hold. Avoidance responses to aversive consequences are salient features of this paradigm. The fact that contingent relationships are not entirely consistent in the driving environment creates problems for the learner driver and for the maintenance of safe driving in the experienced driver.
