Document Summary
Key terms: myth of perpetual behavior intervention, myth of [limitless] intermittent reinforcement, behavior trap, perpetual performance contract, follow up, transfer of training, intervention package. If you did not get transfer, there would be no point in therapy at all: velma and jerry had the condition of grinding their teeth. Severely handicapped, and a bunch of other disabilities like being blind and deaf. We used this as an example of a punishment paradigm, where when grinding their teeth, they got an ice cube to their cheek. The problem was when they went into other environments, their grinding went from 3% to 27%. If the training and testing conditions ideally exactly the same, or a number of critical features that are similar or the same, is when transfer occurs. One way of doing this is to not do the training not just in the clinic, but to do the training in the real world, in a number of different settings.
