Observable
Measurable
What are adaptive behaviors? (Behavioral FOR)
Behaviors and skills needed for functioning in the environment
T or F: In the behavioral FOR, maladaptive behaviors are seen as a cause of a disease.
False
According to the Behavioral FOR, what are maladaptive behaviors a result of?
Faulty learning
Behavioral FOR is used with people with what 2 deficits?
Skill deficits and performance deficits
Skill deficits are a result of?
Person has never learned the skill
Skill has recently become impaired
Performance deficits are a result of?
Individual can do skill but fails to do so in a situation that calls for it
Fails to demonstrate the skill consistently
If an individual has just become a parent and are unable to feed to care for their child, according to the Behavioral FOR they have what kind of deficit?
Skill deficit
If an individual sometimes remembers that they need to brush their hair but other times forgets, according to the Behavioral FOR what kind of deficit does he/she have?
Performance deficit
If an individual can role play in group but can’t perform that same task when required they have what type of deficit (Behavioral FOR)?
Performance deficit
If a person has a stroke, and can’t put on their sock now what kind of deficit do they have? (Behavioral FOR)
Skill deficit
T or F: In the behavioral FOR, the therapist and client collaborate to identify skills expected in an environment.
True
T or F: The therapist works with a client to enhance skills.
True
The therapist should create opportunities where the skills can be?
Learned
Practiced
Integrated into repertoire
What techniques can you use in the behavioral FOR?
goals & objectives, training, shaping, chaining, modeling, external reinforcement, rehearsal & practice, role playing, systematic desensitization, biofeedback
What are some examples of techniques OTs can use in the behavioral FOR?
assertiveness training, social skills training, graded tasks, relaxation, time management, stress management
(Behavioral FOR) Pavlov is responsible for what type of conditioning?
Classical conditioning
Explain the concept of classical conditioning. (Behavioral FOR)
Stimulus is associated with visual image, eventually visual image replaces stimulus
T or F: An example of classical conditioning can be seen in today’s advertisements. (Behavioral FOR)
True
Skinner is responsible for what type of conditioning? (Behavioral FOR)
Operant conditioning
Explain the concept of operant conditioning. (Behavioral FOR)
Behavior that is reinforced in the environment tends to be repeated
Behavior that is ignored tends to diminish
T or F: Many random reinforcements exist in the environment. (Behavioral FOR)
True
T or F: Learning is always positive. (Behavioral FOR)
False
Learning can be positive and negative depending on? (Behavioral FOR)
What is reinforced
What are two types of reinforcement? (Behavioral FOR)
External and internal
T or F: Reinforcement is still required once a behavior has become habitual. (Behavioral FOR)
False; Once a behavior becomes habitual, reinforcement is no longer necessary
What are the three components of reinforcement? (Behavioral FOR)
Frequency, intensity, duration
What are four types of frequency of a reinforcement? (Behavioral FOR)
Continuous
Fixed Rate
Fixed Interval
Intermittent
T or F: Reinforcement can only be positive. (Behavioral FOR)
False; reinforcement can be positive and negative.
In positive reinforcement, what gets reinforced? (Behavioral FOR)
Desired behavior gets reinforced
What kind of reinforcement is this: Target behavior to get away from reinforcement (Behavioral FOR)?
Negative reinforcement
What techniques can be used for eliminating behaviors? (Behavioral FOR)
Time out Shaping Identify steps Build chains of behavior Backward chaining Modeling- demonstration and imitation
Modeling requires what 2 concepts? (Behavioral FOR)
Demonstration and imitation
What is an example of habits? (Behavioral FOR)
Morning routine
T or F: With habits, we need conscious attention to perform acts. (Behavioral FOR)
False; Habit diminishes the conscious attention with which our acts are performed
T or F: Familiar objects in the environment serve as stimuli for the habitual performance of tasks. (Behavioral FOR)
True
Shaping and chaining uses principles of what concept to learn new behaviors? (Behavioral FOR)
Uses principle of operant conditioning to learn new behaviors
Briefly explain what happens in shaping.
Each step is reinforced as it is performed successfully
Briefly explain what happens in chaining.
Each step serves as stimulus for next step
Rehearsal and practice is the basis of?
Learning
T or F: Rehearsal and practice is only used in some approaches in the continuum.
False; it’s used in approaches on the continuum
T or F: Reinforcement isn’t needed when motivation is lacking.
False; Reinforcement is needed when motivation is lacking
What are some of the OT’s role in the Behavioral FOR?
Serve as a role model of appropriate behaviors
Eliminate inappropriate behavior- need to understand context and reinforcers
Selectively reinforce desired behaviors –reinforcing agent
Influence motivation
Corrective learning
Coach
Consultant
Educate family and others how to use various behavioral strategies at home.
When working with a client, the OT looks at?
Person and Behavior
Motivation
Function in the behavioral FOR includes?
Adaptive Performance
Dysfunction in the behavioral FOR includes?
Exhibit a skill or performance deficit
Behavior as excess
Ineffective Discrimination =maladaptive behavior
In the behavioral FOR, what can be done to increase occupational performance?
Building skills Splinter skills Functional skills training Behavioral Outcomes (Learning contracts) Activity outcomes as reinforcers Simulated learning experiences
T or F: You can use the behavioral FOR for clients without a performance deficit.
False; Not able to use if there is not a specific performance deficit
What is the best kind of environment for the Behavioral FOR?
Closed-contained environment where reinforcements can be controlled
T or F: You can use the behavioral FOR in any environment since reinforcement can be given at any time.
False; Works best in a closed-contained environment where reinforcements can be controlled
T or F: The behavioral FOR is considered holistic by all occupational therapists.
False; Burke, Kielhofner, Yerka found it reductionist and not holistic
T or F: The behavioral FOR doesn’t give the therapist enough power.
False; Gives therapist too much power- we can shape and ultimately control someone’s behavior
T or F: The behavioral FOR has the potential for limited generalization
True
What are the 2 strengths of the behavioral FOR?
Allows therapist to follow guidelines to develop safe and predictable environments
Good for skill building
