Document Summary
Behaviour skills training: a procedure consisting of instructions, modelling, behavioural rehearsal, and feedback that is used to teach new behaviours or skills. Teaching a woman to say no" to pushy coworkers. : correct behaviour is demonstrated to the learner. The learner observes the model"s behaviour and then imitates the model. For this to be effective the learner has to be able to pay attention to the model and perform the behaviour demonstrated. Children"s behaviour of imitating models is reinforced many times. This means that a model"s behaviour becomes an sd for imitation and imitation becomes a generalized response class = imitation is likely to occur in the future when a behaviour is modelled for a learner. Symbolic modelling: correct behaviour is demonstrated on videotape/audiotape/maybe cartoon or movie. When model exhibits behaviour, it should result in a successful outcome (reinforcer) for the model. The model should resemble the people observing the model or should have high status.
