According to Cooper et al., (2007), stimulus control is when the SD is altered by the presence or amplification of the antecedent stimulus (p. 393). For example, if the client does not brush teeth at school, but at home this could alter the SD. Therefore, it is important for the behavior analyst to determine which procedure to use. The authors stated that pre-attending skills are important when developing stimulus control (Cooper et al.,(2007, p.400).For example, if the client does not have the programming of making eye intact, it would be hard for the student to watch the behavior analyst model the behavior and follow suite. Another important note is stimulus salience, which is the effect of the client’s environment (o.401). For example,

For example, the client may not implement tooth-brushing procedure in the school bathroom around peers. Furthermore, overshadowing means that the SD condition interfere with other stimulus. For example, if the client has a television on high volume in the house, the attention of the SD may be jeopardized. The choosing of the procedure can be drained by evaluating pervious literature, providing single or multiple opportunity methods, collecting baseline data using the approaches, and personalizing the task analysis (Cooper et al., 2007, p.446). However, it is important to examine functional evaluations to determine certain chains. The functional behavior assessment can be used with task analysis to determine the types of reinforcement associated with the task that has caused a decrease in performance. In the case of tooth brushing, a behavior analyst may examine the different reinforcement associated with the client having maladaptive behaviors during the task. Therefore, the behavior analysts may assess that the tooth brushing task analysis is decreased for negative reinforcement …show more content…
The best examination would be through descriptive functional relationship behavior assessment and indirect functional behavior assessment. According to Cooper et al., (2007), descriptive functional behavior assessment is examined under naturally occurring conditions, and indirect functional behavior assessment is using questionnaires to determine the recollection of behavior (e.g. during tooth-brushing). Additionally, tooth brushing can be examined by the behavior analyst by using baseline data to determine the prerequisites of the skill, and to determine which steps may need more training with the client (p.2). Another important aspect to examine is the behavior chain interruption strategy (BCSI). The BCSI examines the client’s ability to perform a skill in the chain independently, but allows for interruption to take place, in order to, emit another behavior (p.447). Therefore, the behavior analysts is examining the emotional distress of the individual when the chain is interrupted, and can increase the response chain (e.g. vocalization). According to, the advantages of BCSI is that it is easy to implementing by various professionals and non-professionals, can be used in various environments, and be generalized other
