Document Summary

Two important situaions: training situaion, target situaion (to where we want the behaviour to generalize) The more physically similar the training and the target situaions are, the more simulus generalizaion will occur. Video example party simulaion for person craving drinks: help develop strategies to minimize symptoms, example manage physiological feelings (i. e. anxiety) or what to do with your hands when you don"t have a drink. Train in the target situaion when possible (party simulaion) Program common simuli: if not in the target situaion use simuli from that situaion. Allow for and reward new/creaive responses that are appropriate. Create natural rewards to ensure behaviour coninues to be reinforced: gradual weaning away from treatment. Teach others (i. e. parents) to reinforce appropriate behaviours. Give control to the individual: nurture independence so person can manage behaviour on their own. Observaional learning/modeling: can learn a behaviour by observing another person engaging in that behaviour.
