The target behavior is _______smoking________, which I am attempting to: a) decrease b) increase (circle one)
2. How are you measuring the behavior? The behavior is being measured by how many cigarettes she smokes per day.
3. During baseline, the behavior occurred an average of how many times in what time period (e.g., 5 times per day)? During baseline the behavior occurred an average of 12 to 17 times per day.
4. Over the last week, how many times does the behavior occur, on the average? For what time period? (e.g.,5 hours per day; 3 times per week, 13 times per hour) Over the last week the behavior has occurred 2 times per day, 14 times per week,
5. This represents a net increase/decrease (circle one) of
_______12-17______ (number) per ________day_____ (time period, eg day, week) …show more content…
State your final goal and state whether or not the behavior is approaching this level The final goal was to get her to zero cigarettes per day and per week. The behavior is approaching this level because she is one week away from it.
7. When the behavior reaches this level, state two things you will to encourage generalization.
1. Intermittent reinforcement (thinning): Currently she is getting reinforced daily, weekly, and has a major reinforcer waiting for her at the end. To thin her of this we will set into place an intermittent reinforcement program which will start out by her getting reinforced every other day. Then it will be reduced to every third day until it is only once a week. After once a week, it should go to every other week and then every third week and so on.
2. Self-monitoring: She is going to use this type of generalization by learning what are major trigger such as stress or tired. To ensure that she can maintain a stress level that she can handle, she will continue to take meditation classes twice a week. For her trigger of being tired, she will have a sleep schedule set in place to ensure that she is getting enough rest to avoid that
