EDF 6223 Exam 1 2023/2024 Solved 100% Correct. 4 criteria of imitation - ANSWER-1. the imitative behavior is occasioned by another person's model of the behavior 2. the imitative behavior has formal similarity with the model 3. the imitative behavior follows the modeled behavior closely in time 4. the model is the primary controlling variable for the imitative behavior model - ANSWER-an antecedent stimulus with topographical similarity to the behavior the analyst wants to be imitated planned models - ANSWER-prearranged demonstrations of behavior that show the learner exactly what to do, be it acquiring new skills or refining the topography of certain elements of existing skills -can be live or filmed unplanned models - ANSWER-occasion imitation in everyday social environments formal similarity - ANSWER-occurs when the model's and the imitator's behavior physically resemble each other and are in the same mode T/F: delayed behaviors replicating the topography of a model are imitative - ANSWERfalse, a close temporal relationships between the model's performance and the learner's behavior is an important feature of imitation what is the most important property defining imitation? - ANSWER-the controlling relation between a model's demonstration and a learner's performance of topographically similar behavior when is a controlling relation between the model's behavior and the imitator's behavior inferred? - ANSWER-when a model evokes a similar behavior without a prior history of reinforcement T/F: an imitative behavior is a new behavior that follows a novel antecedent event - ANSWER-true imitation training - ANSWER-a systematic, research-based set of steps for teaching a non-imitative learner to imitate models of noel behavior imitation training protocol (1): assess, and teach if necessary, prerequisite skills for imitation training - ANSWER-attending to the model is a prerequisite skill for imitation training. assess the skills for a minimum of 3 sessions and begin training if assessment data shows adequate attending skills imitation training protocol (2): - ANSWER-practitioners may need to select and use about 25 behaviors as models during imitation training. including gross motor and fine motor movements as models provides learners with opportunities to develop more refined differentiation with their imitative skills. initial training usually includes models of the movement of body parts and the manipulation of physical objects imitation training protocol (3): pretest - ANSWER-the learner's response to the selected models should be pretested: 1. prepare the learner's attending behaviors for the pretest 2. if using an object mode, place 1 in front of the learner and 1 in front of yourself 3. say the learner's name to start, and when the learner makes eye contact, say, "do this" 4. present the model 5. immediately praise each response that has formal similarity to the model, and deliver reinforcement ASAP 6. record the learner's response as correct, incorrect, or as an approximation of the model 7. continue pretesting with the remaining models imitation training protocol (4): sequence selected models for training - ANSWER-use the pretest to arrange the presentation sequence for the selected models, arranging the sequence from the easiest to the most difficult models to imitate. the first models selected are those that the learner imitated correctly on some, but not all, of the pretest trials. the models that the learner responded to incorrectly, but that approximated the model, are selected next. finally, the models that the learner failed to perform, or performed incorrectly, are the last to be selected for training conduct imitation training sessions: preassessment - ANSWER-use the first 3 models currently selected for training and present them 3 times each in random order. if the learner's behavior has similarity to the model on all 3 presentations, that model is removed from the training. allows practitioners to evaluate the learner's current performance on the models selected for training that session, and to determine the learner's progress in learning to respond to the model conduct imitation training sessions: training - ANSWER-practitioners use repeated presentations of 1 of the 3 models used in the preassessment. the model selected first is the one most often responded to during the preassessment. if the learner made only approximations, the behavior with the closest similarity to the model is selected first for training. training continues until the learner responds to the model correctly on 5 consecutive trials conduct imitation training sessions: postassessment - ANSWER-present 3 times each, 5 previously learned models and 5 models that are still included in imitation training. remove a most recently learned behavior from imitation training following 3 consecutive postassessments in which the learner responds correctly without physical guidance to the model 14 out of the 15 opportunities. allows the practitioner to evaluate how well a learner performs the previously and most recently learned behaviors conduct imitation training sessions: probe for imitation with novel models - ANSWERuse approximately 5 nontrained, novel models to probe for occurrences of imitation at the end of each imitation training session, or intermix the probes with the training trials. uses the same procedures as the preassessment, but without using the antecedent verbal response prompt or other forms of response prompts.
