Q

Behavioral momentum

A

Q

Hi P request sequence

A

A procedure in which a person presents a series of easy-to-follow requests with which the behavior has a history of compliance in a sequence and then finishes with target request

107
Q

When to use high P request sequence

A

Tendency to become overly prompt dependent, too big to manage physically, extremely sensitive to being touched

108
Q

Behavior cusps

A

Behavior change that has consequences for the organism beyond the change itself, some of which may be considered important

109
Q

Pivotal behavior

A

Behavior, that once learned, produces corresponding modification or covariations and other adaptive untrained behaviors

110
Q

Rules

A

Specify contingencies and tell the listener what to do to gain or avoid certain consequences

111
Q

Contingency specifying stimuli

A

The verbal antecedent stimulus or rule actually alters the function of other stimuli, such as a previously neutral stimulus may function as a discriminate stimulus or reinforce

112
Q

Rule governed behavior

A

Behavior controlled by verbal description of a contingency

113
Q

Imitation

A

The learner emits behavior which is topographically identical or very similar to the antecedent stimuli, which consists of someone else performing a behavior, which is then imitated by the lawyer

114
Q

Generalized imitation

A

Imitative behavior which occurs without person receiving training and reinforcement to imitate the specific behavior modeled

115
Q

Imitation training

A
  1. Presenting a model that sets the occasion for a specific response by the learner
  2. Providing response prompts as needed, so the learner emits the imitative response within the designated interval
  3. Reinforcing the imitative response
116
Q

Modeling procedure

A

Uses an individual’s imitative repertoire to train new behaviors or to evoke desirable behaviors occurring at a rate which is too low

117
Q

Variables influencing effectiveness of modeling

A

If the model’s behavior is reinforced.
Similarity between the model and the imitator.
Physical attractiveness and prestige of the model.
Models emphasis of critical aspects of the target behavior.
Difficulty of the behavior.
Weather in mastery model or a coping model is presented.
Strength of the learners imitative repertoire.
Motivating operations in effect for the reinforcement.

Components of BST

A

Instructions, modeling, rehearsal, feedback

Q

Verbal instructions
