Subject Matter
Behavior of people: Not changing a person, but they behavior they are exhibiting.
Do not look at labels
Look at behavior that needs to be addressed.
Determinants of Behavior:
What maintains that behavior NOW

~Behavior occurs because it is being reinforced~
Contrived vs Naturalistic Settings
Most learning occurs in naturalistic settings.

Contrived: explicitly setting up a contingency that is repeated and methodically planned to incorporate behavior into part of his repertoire
Define Learning:
Changing behavior
Main Goal
Improving someone's life.
Assessment
Assessment: focuses on what the behavior or problem is, and what events might be influencing that behavior.

Function of behavior.
Evaluation
Evaluation: evaluate program or intervention.

- Is it working? (Modify intervention early on)
- Are you having behavior change? (Concerned with even slight behavior change)
- Pre/Post
Order of Assessment and Evaluation
1. Assessment
2. Evaluation
Application
Conduct techniques where ever they are needed, conducted in the setting where they are occurring.
How Behavioral Analysis came to be, 3 theories:
1. Respondent/ Classical conditioning
2. Operant Learning
3. Social Learning Theory
Respondent/ Classical Conditioning
Respondent/ Classical conditioning: new stimuli gain the power to elicit respondent behavior (association of stimuli)

Initially we have natural built in responses that can be paired with neutral stimulus.
Pavlov Classical Conditioning
Meat powder (UCS) ---> Salivation (UCR)

Meat powder (UCS) ---> Bell (Neutral S.)

Bell (CS) ---> Salivation (CR)
Further away from conditioned stimulus the ______ ______ response.
Further away from conditioned stimulus the "less intense" response.
Social Learning Theory
Social Learning Theory (Bandura): behavior can be reinforce if you see someone else being reinforced for that response.

i.e. Bobo dolls
Operant Learning
Learning operant behavior.

Most used in applied setting.
ABC
A: Antecedent (phone rings)

B: Behavior (ans the phone)

C: Consequence (someone on the other end of the phone)
A: Antecedent
Where and what context?

There are always setting events: contextual factors or conditions that influence behavior.
Setting Event
Change likelihood of us engaging or not engaging in various behaviors
Examples Setting Event
Features of:
Situation, Task, Demands

Conditions within individual

Other behavior
Prompt
Facilitate performance of behavior.

instruction (verbal), modeling (visual), touching (physical)

Behavior could occur with out the prompt.
Instruction or gestures that initiate desired response
Discriminative Stimulus S^d
Minimal stimulus required to elicit a response, because it has been reinforced in the past.

i.e.
Sister: S^d for cursing
Mom: S^d for speaking correctly
Shaping
Shaping: lesser forms of final response are successively reinforced until the final response is gradually achieved.

~ Stop reinforcing lower level response ~

i.e. Language Dev: Ma ma--> Mommy
Chaining
Develop a sequence of behaviors.

~Forward and Backward Chaining~
Fwd Chaining
Fwd Chaining: developing behaviors in the order in which they are to be performed.

~ Do NOT stop reinforcing lower levels ~

i.e. Getting Dressed: R1: Shirt from drawer...
Backward Chaining
Backward Chaining: Consists of starting with the last behavior in the sequence.


therapist does all the steps, individual does the last, last one is reinforced.
Makes sense because it makes the final step the S^d for the reinforcer.
Discrimmination
Behavior is performed in the presence of some stimulus (S^d) but not in the presence of other (S delta)

S^d: discriminative stimulus
S delta: extinction stimulus
Generalization (2 types)
Response and Stimulus Generalization
Response Generalization
Changes in response, other than those that have been trained


One stimulus can elicit various responses
Stimulus Generalization
Transfer of response to situation other than those which training takes place

Various stimulus can elicit one response
