Document Summary

Assumption of behavioural modification: behaviours are learned, behaviours are flexible and can be changed. Maladaptive behaviours can be weakened/ distinguished: behaviour occurs, and can be observed, within a specific context. Assessment procedure: define the target behaviour in precise behavioural terms. It is important to separate the behaviour from. In addition to observing , antecedents and consequences are systematically changed so that the influence on the behaviour can be observed. Identify current stimulus control (stimuli that either deter or increase the behaviour) What stimuli are present when the behaviour fails to occur: antecedent. A stimuli that precedes (comes before) the behaviour. Reinforcing the same behaviour across different stimuli contexts through successive trials. Reinforcing closer and closer approximations of the desired behaviour. Reinforcing a sequence of behaviours, usually in a successive sequence: negative reinforcement= removing aversive, positive punishment= aversive stimuli, negative punishment= removing reward. The behaviour is reinforced based on the number of times that it occurs.
