0 Behavioristic Interventions
0 The basic assumptions underlying behavioristic interventions are: • Behavior is influenced by the consequences following the behavior. • Behavior change programs must focus on specific,observable behaviors. • Data collection is necessary.
0 Advantages • Some students need special assistance to develop responsible behavior • Research supports these interventions • Not as time consuming as one may think
0 Disadvantages • Teachers may not examine their own teaching methods • Emphasis on external control which is in opposition to student’s need for control
0 Social Reinforcement: Behaviors of other people that tend to increase the frequency with which a student emits a behavior. Activity Reinforcement: Involvement in an activity that serves as a reward after a student has reached a goal.
0 Token Reinforcement: Students receive immediate reinforcement in the form of a chip, token or check that can be traded in for something. Curtailment: Inappropriate student behavior is followed by the removal of a desired activity.
0 Group Contract An entire class earns or loses a reward depending on class behaviors.
0 • Positive Reinforcement - An event following a response that increases the likelihood that the person will make a similar response in similar situations. • Negative Reinforcement - An event following a response that decreases the likelihood that the response will occur again.
0 • Response Cost - Positive reinforcers are withdrawn. • Ignoring - Contingent withdrawal of teacher attention when misbehavior occurs.
0 • Shaping Behavior/Successive Approximations - Refers to the concept of breaking the desired goal into a sequence of ordered steps or tasks, then reinforcing a behavior that the student already shows and gradually increasing the requirement for reinforcement..
0 • Contingency Contracting - A BM strategy that entails a written agreement between the student and the teacher.
0 • Time-Out –Problem Solving Time • Behavioral Paradigm-the removal of a reinforcement that may be contributing to the inappropriate behavior • Cognitive Behavioral Approach – provides an opportunity for the student to calm down and begin problem solving
