Document Summary
18 antecedent control: modeling, physical guidance, & situational inducement (part 2) Behaviour modification programs should include instructions in the form of rules that can be followed easily, however, instructions are not enough so it is necessary to introduce other types of antecedent stimuli. Modeling is a procedure by which a sample of a given behaviour is shown to an individual to induce that individual to engage in a similar behaviour (as is true for rules, modeling can be very powerful). As with rules, the general public commonly uses modeling that a few people think of it as a behaviour modification procedure. Parents use modeling unsystematically, but in general effectively, to teach politeness, caring, language, and many other behaviours to their children. For example, when showing a child how to make a sandwich, a parent might say, do it like this while modeling the desired behaviour. Modeling affects the behaviour of people of all ages (not just young infants).
