Document Summary
Components of the behavioural skills training procedure: Modeling: correct behaviour is demonstrated for the learner (learner imitates model: may be live (another person demonstrate) or symbolic (on vid, audio, cartoon/movie) When model exhibits correct behaviour, it should result in a successful outcome (reinforcer) for the model. Model should resemble the people observing the model or should have high status. Complexity of model"s behaviour should be appropriate to developmental or ability level of learner. If model"s behaviour is too complex, learner may not learn from it. If model"s behaviour is too simple, learner may not pay attention. Learner has to pay attention to learn behaviour being modeled (often, teacher draw attention to important aspects of model"s behaviour) Modeled behaviour must occur in proper context (in response to relevant s^d). Behaviour should be modeled in real situation or in context of role-play of real situation. Modeled behaviour should be repeated as often as necessary for learner to imitate it correctly.
