AGR 28 Contingencies governing behavior of those caring out behavior change systems: competency based training: performance monitoring Flashcards
What are the determinants – causes of behavior?
- Ontogenic factor
2. Phylogenic factor
Types of selection by consequence
- Natural selection
- Operant selection
- Cultural selection
Responses were selected by evolving because they had survival value
Natural selection
Responses were selected by immediate consequences
Operant selection
Responses were mediated by verbal behavior and passed down from generation to generation
Cultural selection
Behavior is evoked based on actual previous experience with consequences
Contingency based
Behavior is evoked due to being TOLD that consequences will occur
Rule governed
What maintains behavior?
Reinforcement
Negative reinforcement: SR-
Positive reinforcement SR +
- Behavioral variability
- Specific responses are selected by immediate, contingent consequences
- So what the responses are repeated across time
Repeated cycle occurs
Operant selection
Instruction, modeling, rehearsal, feedback
Classroom training and/or video modeling
Opportunity to role-play
Feedback
Almost reach predetermined competency in skills
Behavior skills training
Independent variable integrity
Procedural integrity
The behavior of those responsible for carrying out the behavior change plan is caused by only:
Ontogenic and phylogenic factors
Different principles of behavior than those who need behavioral services
The rules and statutes of the law
Consequences that maintain the behavior

If a parent does not feel comfortable implementing a behavior plan, what would be the best course of action a behavior analyst can take?
Discuss other treatments that may produce the same results
Current and past environmental events
Ontogenic Factors
Genetics
