Definition of Imitation - CORRECT ANS •A model stimulus is presented in an effort to evoke the imitative behavior •The imitative behavior follows immediately •The model and behavior must have formal similarity •The model must serve as a controlling variable for the imitative behavior (SD) Types of Models - CORRECT ANS •Planned models -Pre-arranged antecedent stimuli that help learners acquire new skills -Shows the learner exactly what to do •Unplanned models -Occur in everyd...

With an understanding of the imitation process, applied behavior analysts can use imitation as an intervention to: a.) Eliminate Old Behaviors b.) Evoke New behaviors c.) Create teaching sequences d.) Reinforce appropriate behaviors - CORRECT ANS b.) Evoke New behaviors Regardless of the behavior modeled, the objective of imitation training is for the learner to do what? a.) What the model does b.) What the trainer asked or commanded c.) What behavior fits the situation d.) What behavior w...

4 criteria of imitation - CORRECT ANS 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 - CORRECT ANS an antecedent stimulus with topographical similarity to the behavior the analyst wants to be imitated planned models - CORRECT ANS prearranged...
