Document Summary
Antecedent control: modelling, physical guidance, and situational inducement. Modelling is a procedure by which a sample of a given behavior is demonstrated to an individual to induce that individual to engage in a similar behavior. General factors influence the effectiveness of modelling. Arrange for peers to be models: people are more likely to imitate those who are similar to them in various ways. Video modelling, which involves showing video-recorded displays of a typically developing child or children emitting target responses, is an effective way for teaching a child with autism to emit those target responses. Arrange for the modeled behavior to be seen to be effective: arrange for the learner to observe the model emit the desired behavior and receive reinforcement. Eg:high-status and prestigious persons are more likely to be imitated than others, because they are more observed. Combine modelling with rules: modelling is likely to be most effective when combined with rules and other behavioral strategies.
