Study Notes
Complexity of Human Behavior
- Human behavior is complex, varied, and requires long-term planning.
- It's maintained by complex contingencies and involves verbal rules.
- Human adaptability and rich language are key aspects contributing to this complexity.
- Growing demands for complex behaviors necessitate enhanced teaching approaches.
Cognitive-Constructivist Approaches
- Emphasize the diverse, varied nature of materials and accompanying behaviors.
- Often effective for many learners.
Behavior-Analytic Teaching
- Typically breaks down complex behaviors into small units.
- Can appear reductive for some learners.
- Uses combinations of simpler behaviors or elaborated simpler ones to create complex behaviors.
Behavioral Complexity Dimensions
- Subordinate and superordinate skills: Complex behaviors frequently involve prerequisite skills.
- Sequencing: Behaviors often occur sequentially and produce a desired end state, with variations possible.
- Variability in responding: Variable behavior is crucial for response generalization.
- Ambiguity in natural criteria: The definition of correct/incorrect responses can be subjective or ambiguous.
- Establishing self-management skills: Critical for long-term maintenance of complex behaviors.
Interventions for Increasing Desirable Behavior
- The assessment of behaviors and individuals is crucial in any new behavior program.
- Assessment involves identifying current skills, goals, and preferences.
- Instructional planning should match competence criteria with appropriate instruction.
Shaping
- Shaping involves gradually altering target behavior via differential reinforcement.
- It modifies behavior through successive approximations to the target behavior.
Prompting
- It increases the probability of a desired response when a skill isn't currently present or isn't under appropriate stimulus control.
- Prompts can be stimulus (altering the stimulus) or response (e.g., teacher gestures).
- Fading refers to diminishing prompt support to eventually allow the behavior to be emitted in the targeted context independently.
Prompting Approaches
- Least-to-most: Gradually increasing the prompt intensity.
- Graduated guidance: Reducing physical or other prompt support over trials or sessions.
- Most-to-least: Initially using high-intensity prompts and gradually decreasing their intensity.
- Time delay: Increasing the interval between a prompt and a request, encouraging independent responding.
- Simultaneous prompting: Prompt appears along with the stimulus at the same time
Chaining
- Chaining involves teaching behaviors in a sequence to achieve a specific goal or task.
- Common approaches include forward chaining, backward chaining, and total task presentation.
Generalization
- Focuses on applying newly acquired skills across different settings, individuals, and situations.
Self-Management
- The ability to monitor, evaluate, and regulate one's behavior.
- Strategies involve self-assessment and self-adjustment.
Direct Instruction
- Explicit and systematic instruction, focusing on skill mastery using careful sequencing.
