4 criteria of imitation -
- correct answer -1. the imitative behavior is occasioned by
another person's model of the behavior
2. the imitative behavior has formal similarity with the model
3. the imitative behavior follows the modeled behavior closely in
time
4. the model is the primary controlling variable for the imitative
behavior
model -
- correct answer -an antecedent stimulus with topographical
similarity to the behavior the analyst wants to be imitated
planned models -
- correct answer -prearranged demonstrations of behavior that
show the learner exactly what to do, be it acquiring new skills or
refining the topography of certain elements of existing skills
-can be live or filmed
unplanned models -
- correct answer -occasion imitation in everyday social
environments
formal similarity -
- correct answer -occurs when the model's and the imitator's
behavior physically resemble each other and are in the same
mode
T/F: delayed behaviors replicating the topography of a model are
imitative -
- correct answer -false, a close temporal relationships between the
model's performance and the learner's behavior is an important
feature of imitation
what is the most important property defining imitation? -
, - correct answer -the controlling relation between a model's
demonstration and a learner's performance of topographically
similar behavior
when is a controlling relation between the model's behavior and
the imitator's behavior inferred? -
- correct answer -when a model evokes a similar behavior without
a prior history of reinforcement
T/F: an imitative behavior is a new behavior that follows a novel
antecedent event -
- correct answer -true
imitation training -
- correct answer -a systematic, research-based set of steps for
teaching a non-imitative learner to imitate models of noel behavior
imitation training protocol (1): assess, and teach if necessary,
prerequisite skills for imitation training -
- correct answer -attending to the model is a prerequisite skill for
imitation training. assess the skills for a minimum of 3 sessions
and begin training if assessment data shows adequate attending
skills
imitation training protocol (2): -
- correct answer -practitioners may need to select and use about
25 behaviors as models during imitation training. including gross
motor and fine motor movements as models provides learners with
opportunities to develop more refined differentiation with their
imitative skills. initial training usually includes models of the
movement of body parts and the manipulation of physical objects
imitation training protocol (3): pretest -
- correct answer -the learner's response to the selected models
should be pretested:
1. prepare the learner's attending behaviors for the pretest
2. if using an object mode, place 1 in front of the learner and 1 in
front of yourself
3. say the learner's name to start, and when the learner makes eye
contact, say, "do this"
4. present the model
5. immediately praise each response that has formal similarity to
the model, and deliver reinforcement ASAP
