Principles for Using Behavior Modification Developed by: W. Huitt Last revised: June, 1994 Changing children's behavior. New York: Prentice-Hall. Behavioral Approach Educational Psychology Interactive To develop a new behavior 1. Successive Approximation Principle: To teach a child to act in a manner in which he has seldom or never before behaved, reward successive steps to the final behavior. 2. Continuous Reinforcement Principle: To develop a new behavior that the child has not previously exhibited, arrange for an immediate reward after each correct performance. 3. Negative Reinforcement Principle: To increase a child's performance in a particular way, you may arrange for him to avoid or escape a mild aversive situation by improving his behavior or by allowing him to avoid the aversive situation by behaving appropriately. 4. Modeling Principle: To teach a child new ways of behaving, allow him to observe a prestigeful person performing the desired behavior. 5. Cueing Principle: To teach a child to remember to act at a specific time, arrange for him to receive a cue for the correct performance just before the action is expected rather than after he has performed it incorrectly.

Behavior Modification Behavior Modification is defined as the use of rewards or punishments to reduce or eliminate problematic behavior, or to teach an individual new responses to environmental stimuli. Three tools used in Behavior Modification are positive and negative reinforcement and cueing. The goal of a program of behavior modification is to change and adjust behavior that is inappropriate or undesirable in some way. When embarking on a program of behavior modification it is important is that the undesirable behaviors be isolated and observed. With this observation comes awareness of the behaviors, on the part of both the parent and teacher and also on the part of the individual whose behavior is being modified. With this awareness, comes a greater goal of understanding the cause and effect of the behaviors, and thus affect change. In many cases, some form of behavior modification along with cognitive therapy and medication therapy are the preferred methods of treatment for disorders such as AD(H)D, and Conduct Disorders. Behavior modification and cognitive therapy are the principle forms of treatment for disorders such as Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse.

Behavior Modification Parents often ask me, "What is Behavior Modification? Aren't those just fancy words for bribing kids in order to control them?" All adults who deal with children develop strategies to shape their behavior. Children need basic tools of language, learning, emotional maturity and self-control to function effectively with others. The principles of Behavior Modification describe a formalized method that observes behavior and seeks to shape it in positive ways. The purposes of Behavior Modification in the education of children are NOT brainwashing, bribery or mind control. Quite the contrary. The purposes are to encourage children to experience the consequences of their actions in order to increase independence and self-discipline. Consider the following guiding principles of Behavior Modification as applied to helping a child become more successful in school. The child who is unable to work independently makes frequent requests for repetition of instructions, copies the work of classmates, repeatedly expresses self-doubt despite reassurances, and clings to adults under stress. Such a highly dependent child often feels powerless and inferior. We know that behavior that is rewarded or affirmed (reinforcement) tends to be repeated, and that behavior not so acknowledged tends to diminish or disappear (extinction). Selection of rewards, or reinforcers as they are called technically, is critical because what's reinforcing for one child may not be reinforcing for another. Parents and teachers often ignore desired behavior (because they expect it) and respond to or draw attention to undesired behavior (because they want to change it.) In so doing, they often inadvertently reinforce undesired behaviors. Instead, adults should try to ignore (to extinguish) undesired behavior and reinforce (to increase) desired behavior when it occurs. Child behaviors that are dangerous to self or others should not be ignored under any circumstances.

Best Viewed with Internet Explorer! Behavior Problems? Find Out What to Do to Get Help Read This Section It's Important!! First, let me say that the Fact That These Links Are Here Does NOT Mean I Support the Techniques Used !! These links are offered with the expectation and hope that you will take responsibility for properly evaluating anyone that you choose to hand your dog's leash to this is NOT something that I take lightly ! PLEASE find out what methods they use watch them in a class situation, make sure you're comfortable with how they handle their own dog, or someone else's and NEVER allow someone to do anything to your dog that makes you uneasy! Here is the danger: most owners will do anything an instructor tells them to do, just because the instructor is SUPPOSED to know what they're doing. People will shock the HELL out of a dog, if the instructor tells them "it really doesn't HURT the dog it just 'gets his attention'" (be VERY wary of anyone who uses this phrase!!) I've seen instructors teach owners to HANG their dogs for showing INTEREST in other dogs. Many owners work on faith, this way... it's simply WRONG for a trainer to abuse this type of trust. Dog-owners PLEASE understand this: there is NO governing body that regulates what a trainer must know, or methods allowed to be used, in order to call oneself a "dog trainer", "behavior counselor", or "animal behaviorist". There are many schools that give certification in these areas (and some are quite good!) but some are frightening, and are turning out some downright incompetent trainers. The rule is: I call myself a behavior counselor, therefore I am a behavior counselor. It really is necessary to educate yourself to the schools of thought regarding training methodolgy, so that you can make an informed decision. It's a matter of ethics.

Return to Dog and Cat Page Using avoidance and passive behavior modification to treat canine dominance aggression By avoiding certain situations and teaching their dogs to defer to them for attention, owners can break the cycle of aggressive behavior. The author discusses how and why this process works and provides detailed instructions for your clients. KAREN L. OVERALL, MA, VMD, PhD, Dipl. ACVB Department of Clinical Studies School of Veterinary Medicine University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6010 THE FIRST STEPS in treating dominance aggression in a dog are to avoid circumstances known to provoke the dog and, by using passive behavior modification techniques, to teach the dog to defer to its owner. This article describes these two steps. Next month's symposium will discuss two additional steps in treating dominance aggression: active behavior modification and drug therapy. Avoidance Passive behavior modification Passive behavior modification, which teaches a dog to defer to its owner, is an underused tool. It works because it incorporates signals that dogs use to communicate about their relative roles in their natural social systems. The techniques described here are directed toward the owners of dominantly aggressive dogs and are similar to those of other passive behavior modification programs. Giving a dog the right cues Dogs have social systems similar to those of people. They live in extended family groups; have extensive parental care; work as a group or a family to help care for offspring; nurse their young before feeding them semisolid, then solid food; use play as one form of developing social skills; communicate extensively vocally and nonvocally; and, most important, have a social system based on deference to others.

About Us E-mail List Enter your e-mail address to join our e-mail list: Details/Unsubscribe Information and Resources Pet Information Sheets Nine Tips for Dog Behavior Modification The following tips outline behavior modification techniques: Tip 1: To Crate or Not to Crate When the dog is confined, it may be helpful to set a light on a timer to go on 15-20 minutes before the owner returns. This acts as a signal to the dog that the owner is returning. The signal must be taught to the dog. First, put the dog in its confined area and set the timer so the light comes on a short time later. After the dog is relaxed, the owner should leave the area and reenter when they know that the light will be coming on. This signal makes the dog anticipate the owner's return. This technique only works with set schedules. You would never want the light to come on and the owner not to return within 15-20 minutes. Tip 2: Avoid Rewarding Anxious Behaviors with Attention It is very natural when your dog is anxious or upset to try to reassure your pet. By reassuring your nervous pet, you are actually reinforcing their fear and anxiety with your voice, your words, and your attention. Owners must try to reward their pet for being relaxed at any time. The more that they are relaxed and their behavior rewarded the more these relaxed behaviors are generalized into everyday life. All family members need to help reward these relaxed behaviors.

Stepping Out other, level: all Posted by Connie ( cmariee@n2english.com Harden Middle School, Salinas, USA Materials Required: Copy these papers and change them to fit you Activity Time: unspecified Concepts Taught: Discipline behavior modification GRADE LEVEL: 4-12 Give one or more worksheets to student when you send him/her to detention or send him out of the room or put him aside from other students because his behavior was not accepted. After the student copies down the lesson (as many times as you want them to write it) Have them write/devise a plan on how they can change their behavior to be allowed back in class. This plan must be brought to you before you should accept the student back in class. RESPECT LESSON Ø Please copy onto a separate piece of paper. Be sure to put your name in the right hand corner of your paper. Title your paper "Respect". We all need and deserve to be respected. However, we cannot respect others when we don't respect ourselves. When you are rude, put people down, talk negatively, or insult people, you are hurting your respect for yourself as well as for others. Everyone needs to feel good about themselves in order to get along with others. When someone does not feel good about himself or herself, he or she speaks and acts in ways that hurt others. When you don't feel good about yourself, everyone loses.
