Question 1

Generalized Imitation

Question 2

Imitation

Answer 2

A behavior controlled by any physical movement that serves as a novel model excluding vocal-verbal behavior, has formal similarity with the model, and immediately follows the occurrence of the model (e.g., within seconds of the model presentation). An imitative behavior is a new behavior emitted following a novel antecedent event (i.e., the model).

Question 3

Imitation Training

Answer 3

A systematic, research-based set of procedures for teaching a nonimitative learner to imitate models of novel behavior.

Question 4

Modeling

Answer 4

A behavior change strategy in which learners acquire new skills by imitating demonstrations of the skill by live or symbolic models. The model shows, demonstrates, or conveys exactly the behavior the learner is expected to perform.

Question 5

Video Modeling

Answer 5

A behavior change strategy in which the participant views a video of a model performing the target behavior and then imitates the behavior.

Question 6

Video Self-Modeling

Answer 6

A behavior change strategy in which the participant views a video of himself successfully performing the target behavior and then imitates his own model.
