Final answer:

(Option c) Reinforcing response variability is not a strategy for promoting generalization. Teaching loosely, using one teacher for consistency, and teaching sufficient stimulus examples are effective strategies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c. reinforce response variability. Reinforcing response variability actually encourages the student to exhibit a range of different responses, which can interfere with the generalization of a specific behavior.

On the other hand, the other strategies mentioned are all effective for promoting generalization:

  1. Teaching loosely: This involves teaching a skill in a variety of settings, with different materials, and using different examples to increase the likelihood of generalization.
  2. Using one teacher for consistency: Consistency in instruction from one teacher helps to promote generalization of the behavior across different environments and individuals.
  3. Teaching sufficient stimulus examples: Providing a variety of examples of the desired behavior helps the student to generalize the skill to different situations.
