  1. TEACHING MANDING: HOW TO CAPTURE AND CONTRIVE MOTIVATION Presented By Sharon Keppley M.Ed, BCBA and Amy Flores, M.Ed., BCBA Keppley Behavioral Consulting

  2. OBJECTIVES • Define mand • Explain the benefits of teaching manding first • Describe how deprivation effects motivation • Describe how satiation effects motivation • Describe how motivative operation (MO’s) can be used and manipulated to teach language

  3. MAND • A mand is asking for the things that you want and is strengthened by getting them • There is a tendency to say “juice” when you want it, and you get it Manding is what teaches the learner that talking or signing is useful

  4. MOTIVATION AND TEACHING LANGUAGE • Talking is more easily acquired and occurs more often when the motivation is strong for desired items, objects or activities. • It is easiest to teach language skills when the motivation is high

  5. MANDS PER DAY • Contriving motivation results in a greater number of mands per day, thus more opportunities to develop language

  6. USE POWERFUL REINFORCERS • Begin mand training by using the learner’s most powerful positive reinforcers

  7. TEACHING MANDS EXTENSIVELY • Mand training should be taught extensively with early learners • Manding for many items for which motivation has been captured leads to improvement in vocalizations.

  8. MOTIVATIVE OPERATIONS (MOs) • Motivating operations are conditions in the learning environment that transform activities, food items and objects into reinforcers for the learner • Transforming activities, food items, and objects into valuable reinforcers • Then, using these activities, food items, and objects as reinforcers to teach the learner to mand, or request them

  9. DEPRIVATION • Being deprived of a favorite reinforcer for a period of time increases the desire for that reinforcer.

  10. SATIATION • Satiation affects all reinforcers • The level of motivation for favorite videos, toys, activities, etc. can and does change frequently

  11. CONTRIVING MOTIVATION (MOs) • Show the learner new ways to have fun playing with toys

  12. TRANSITIVE MOs • When a learner has a strong MO, use this to teach them to mand for other item or actions valuable to obtaining the reinforcer

  13. ANDREW WITH KATHY • Use motivation to increase the number and variety of mands • Use Transitive MO’s to teach mands for missing items • Mand training should always be fun • Contrive motivation by manipulating objects and activities

  14. MAND TRAINING INTENSITY • Intensity of mand training is important to increase vocalizations • Sign training sometimes fails to result in vocal responding when too few opportunities to mand are provided
