What is behavior skills training?
a procedure consisting of instructions, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, and feedback that is used to teach new behaviors or skills
Give an example of when you would use behavior skills training in ABA?
Correct!
Factors for modeling? (what is some criteria for this stage of BST)
complexity should be appropriate to the developmental level of the learner
must occur in the proper context
should be repeated as often as necessary
should be modeled in a variety of ways and in a variety of situations
In order to increase their effectiveness, instructions should be:
A) understandable to the learner
B) delivered by a credible person
C) repeated by the learner
D) all of these
D
What are instructions?
verbal descriptions of the behavior to be performed
Give an example of when you would use BST in everyday life?
Correct!!!!
Factors for influencing rehearsal?
Rehearsals should be programmed for success
Rehearsal of the correct behavior should be followed immediately by reinforcement
Rehearsals that are partly correct or are incorrect should be followed by corrective feedback
The behavior should be rehearsed in the proper context
The behavior should be rehearsed until it is demonstrated correctly a few times
A psychologist instructs parents how to deal with their disobedient son, and then the parents practice.Following the rehearsal, the psychologist praises them for what they did correctly and gives them further instruction for things they did incorrectly. Delivering praise and further instruction following rehearsal is referred to as:
A) evaluation
B) feedback
C) explanation
D) analysis
B
What is modeling?
a type of prompt in which the trainer demonstrates the target behavior for the learner
All the time! Anytime there's a new program, intervention, RBT overlap/training, etc!
Factors for EFFECTIVE feedback?
Feedback should be given immediately after the behavior
Feedback should always include praise (or other reinforcers) for some aspect of the behavior
Praise should be descriptive
When providing corrective feedback, don't be negative
Always praise some aspect of the performance before providing corrective feedback
Provide corrective feedback on one aspect of the performance at a time
The components of the behavioral skills training procedure are generally used:
A) together in a training session
B) with individuals who have severely limited abilities
C) individually to teach different behaviors
D) A and B
A
What is rehearsal?
practice of the behavior in a role-play situation after instructions and modeling
What is BST used for and why??
-Used to teach larger concepts, not specific steps
-Because it's not as rigid at chaining and allows for greater flexibility when reacting to a situation
How can you promote generalization??
Use realistic role plays that stimulate the full range of situations
ex: rehearse study skills in the classroom, at home, and in the library
-Incorporate real life stimuli into training
ex: using a fake car to practice road rage in
-Practice skills outside of session in real life situations
-Arrange to reinforce skills outside of training sessions
ex: Instructor sitting in car with you while you drive on the freeway and give you feedback
A teacher shows students a film demonstrating what they should do in case of a fire. Which component of behavioral skills training involves demonstrating the correct behavior for the learner?
A) rehearsal
B) instruction
C) modeling
D) feedback
C
What is feedback?
delivering praise for a successful performance in a behavioral rehearsal and instruction on ways to improve the performance in the future
Give an example of BST training within your role as a BCBA for each step in thirty seconds!
GOOOOOO!
SURPRISE
How many sentences per hour should you write for a session note summary?
Which of the following is NOT true concerning the use of feedback?

B) feedback should involve praise for some aspect of the behavior
C) corrective feedback should be given before praise
D) feedback should be descriptive
