Imitation
|
1. Any physical movement may function as a model for imitation.
2. An imitative behavior must immediately follow the presentation of the model (e.g., within 3-5 seconds). 3. The model and the behavior must have formal similarity. 4. The model must be the controlling variable for an imitative behavior. |
|
Planned Models
|
Prearranged antecedent stimuli that help learners acquire new skills or refine the topography of certain elements of existing skills.
|
|
Unplanned Models
|
All antecedent stimuli with the capacity to evoke imitation are potentially unplanned models.
|
|
Formal Similarity
|
Occurs when the model and the behavior physically resemble each other and are in the same sense mode (i.e., look alike, sounds alike).
|
|
Immediacy
|
Immediacy between the model and the imitative behavior is important, but a form of imitation may occur later in time in the context of everyday situations. This, however, is not imitation.

Guidelines for Imitation Training
|
1. Keep training sessions brief (10-15 minutes).
2. Reinforce both prompted and imitative responses. 3. Pair verbal praise and attention with tangible reinforcers. 4. If progress breaks down, back up and move ahead slowly. 5. Keep a record. 6. Fade out verbal response prompts and physical guidance. |
