Document Summary
Chapter 18 antecedent control: modeling, physical guidance and situational inducement. Modeling: sample of given behaviour is demonstrated for an individual to engage a similar behaviour. Modelling affects everyone, not just children b/c we observe others. People more likely to imitate those who are similar to them; more likely to imitate b/w friends/peers. Video modelling showing video-recorded displays of desirable behaviour (effective for children w/ autism: there can be a video of yourself performing the behaviour correctly. Video modelling to teach social skills is just as effective as learning with peers. Arrange for modelled behaviour to be seen to be effective. Let them know the modelled behaviour has merit and will receive reinforcement. Individuals of high status often emit effective behaviours. Multiple people modelling a particular behaviour will influence the learner to do the same. Increase of models = increase of stimulus exemplars, therefore increases generalization of behaviour.
