EDF 6223 Exam 1 Study Guide Graded A+ 4 criteria of imitation 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 an antecedent stimulus with topographical similarity to the behavior the analyst wants to be imitated planned models 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 occasion imitation in everyday social environments formal similarity 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 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? 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? 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 true imitation training 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 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): 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 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 6. record the learner's response as correct, incorrect, or as an approximation of the model 7. continue pretesting with the remaining models
