questions and answers.
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
