Document Summary
Chapter 26: helping an individual to develop self-control. Most self-control programs (self management/self modification programs) proceed through five steps. Causes of self-control programs: problems with behavioural excesses. Immediate reinforcers versus delayed punishers for a behaviour. Immediate reinforcers versus cumulatively significant punishers for a behaviour. Immediate reinforcers for problem behaviour versus delayed reinforcers for alternative. Immediate small punishers for a behaviour versus cumulatively significant reinforcers. Immediate small punisher for a behaviour versus imediate but improbably major punisher if the behaviour does not occur. Immediate small punisher for a behaviour versus delayed major punisher if the behaviour. A behavioural model for self-control: a statement that self control occurs when an individual behaves in some ways that arranges the environment to manage his/her subsequent behaviour. Mastery criterion: a performance requirement for practicing a skill so that if the criterion is met, the behaviour has been learned.
