Test 2 Flashcards
What does the behavioral frame of reference focus on?
Focuses on building or adapting skills necessary for occupational performance.
Also focus on eliminating behaviors that lead to occupational dysfunction.
Performance Deficits & Skill Deficits
What theory is the behavioral frame of reference based on?
Learning Theory
What relationship of the person, environment an occupation are we working on in Behavioral FOR?
Working on the person and their behaviors with the environment.
Environment can positively or negatively reinforce behavior.
What thing do we look at most with Behavioral FOR?
Motivation for behaviors
Describe skill deficit in Behavioral FOR
Person has never learned the skill.
Skill has recently become impaired.
What do we do with Behavioral FOR?
Work with people who have performance deficits and skill deficits.
Describe performance Deficit in Behavioral FOR?
Individual has skill but fails to perform in situation that calls for the skill.
Fails to demonstrate skill.
What is the importance of the Occupational Profile in the Behavioral FOR?
Learn what motivates the person, what is important to them. Find out where the problems are.
Describe how a skill is put into your behavioral skill repertoire according to the Behavioral FOR?
Learn Skill
Practice Skill
Integrate into Repertoire
Describe Pavlov’s classical conditioning
Stimulis is associate with visual and eventually over time visual image will replace the stimulus.
Describe Skinner’s operant conditioning
Behavior that is reinforced in the environment tends to be repeated.
Behavior that is ignored tends to diminish.
What are the three components of reinforcement in the Behavioral FOR?
Frequency
Intensity
Duration
Describe the differences in frequency of reinforcement as it relates to the behavioral FOR?
Continuous: Always happens when behavior is exhibited.
Fixed Rate: Happens every xth time.
Intermittent: Reinforcement is random
What type of frequency of reinforcement is most effective in Behavioral FOR ?
Intermittent because they keep doing the behavior just in case reinforcement happens then.
What is difference between positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement in the Behavioral FOR?
Positive: Desired behavior is reinforced.
Negative: Find out what is reinforcing negative behavior and getting rid of it.
What are examples of social reinforcement in Behavioral FOR?
Smiles, Praise, Pat on back, High five.
What is considered function in the Behavioral FOR?
Adaptive Performance
What is considered dysfunction in the Behavioral FOR?
Exhibit skill or performance deficit
Maladaptive Behavior in excess
What are the limitations for the Behavioral FOR?
Time constraints - May not be able to change behavior in short amount of time.
Gives therapist power over someone’s behavior.
Cannot be used if person is too ill to understand their motivations/goals.
What are the strengths of the Behavioral FOR?
Allows therapist to follow guidelines to develop safe and predictable environments.
Good for skill building
What do we do if someone cannot learn and we are using the Behavioral FOR?
Teach splinter skills, use adaptations.
What makes the cognitive behavioral FOR different than the behavioral FOR
Incorporates thoughts into behavior. Seeks to change thoughts believed to result in or cause specific maladaptive behaviors.
What are some techniques the OT can use in the Behavioral FOR?
Modeling Behavior
Token Economy as reinforcement
Shaping Behaviors
Behavioral Contracts
Working in simulated environment to practice skills.
What is considered function in the Cognitive-Behavioral FOR?
Person’s thoughts meet their personal and societal expectations.
Person feels sense of competence over their environment.
Has good self-knowledge, reasoning and ability to problem solve.
What is considered dysfunction in the Cognitive-Behavioral FOR?
Behaviors are at the extremes of the emotional continuum.
Cognitive functioning does not meet personal or societal expectations.
Unrealistic reasoning process
Dysfunction is associated with feeling of incompetence.
Give some examples of strategies used in OT treatment?
Homework, Modeling, Role Play, Graded Activities, Reality Testing, Psychoeducation, Thought Blocking
Describe peripheral change vs. Deep Change
Peripheral Change = Person does not “own” change. Cannot be generalized.
Deep Change = Clients personal identity changes and the way they view the world. Is generalized in to other contexts.
What are limitations and strengths of Behavioral FOR?
Limitations: Time Constraints, Therapist has more power, cannot be used if person is to sick to understand own motivations and goals. Hard to generalize.
Strengths: Therapist develops safe predictable environments, good for skill building.
What is Beck’s ABC method?
A = Stimulus
B = Beliefs or thoughts surrounding interpretation of stimulus.
C = Response or Feeling
What is Ellis’ ABCDEF method?
A = Activating Event B = Beliefs C = Consequence D = Disputing Irrational Beliefs E = Effecting New Beliefs F = New Set of Feelings
What are the limitations of the Cognitive FOR?
Client cannot have cognitive deficits.
Time Consuming
Person has to be motivated to participate
Hard to determine if there is change.
What are the strengths of cognitive behavioral FOR?
Its effective
Can be generalized
Client Centered
How is psychoeducation connected to the principles of cognitive behavioral principles?
Teaches empowerment to the client to challenge their maladaptive thinking.
What is the focus of the acquisitional FOR?
Links learning theory with purposeful activity to develop skills needed for successful interaction in clients environment so they could fulfill the roles in that environment.
