magazines) to reinforce what child is less excited
about doing (sit in car seat)

LOVES magazines]
• P: On the way to the car. “What magazine would
you like to look at today? Can you believe the
big elephant on the cover of the new ZooBooks!”
• C: “ZooBooks!”

GSWC Workshop, Week 6
- 1. Guiding Your Strong Willed Child 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
- 2. Week 6 Review Halfway Q & A, Part 2 Community Front Line Lessons Content Behavior is Functional Collaboration Sure! First, Then
- 3. Review Halfway Q & A • Our child often says she is afraid. What should we do when the fear seems to prevent her from being able to go to bed on her own? • Questions to consider: – Is your child’s fear actually helping keep her safe? – Might there be a reason that the fear persists? • Delay of bedtime? • Does continued avoidance make the fear stronger or weaker?
- 4. Review Halfway Q & A • How can we help our child improve his behavior in dance class? • Questions to consider: – How would you & the teacher operationally define the challenging behavior(s)? – What is he currently doing well? – What skills need to be specifically taught for him to be more successful? – What motivates your son?
- 5. Review Halfway Q & A • My child seems crabby when he is hungry. We hypothesize that low blood sugar leads to his poor behavior. Is this true? How can we accurately describe the role of hunger? • Questions to consider: – How would you operationally define “poor behavior”? – Food deprivation is a special antecedent called an establishing operation. It does NOT cause behavior. What does? – If food becomes extra reinforcing what behavior might we expect to observe? What behavior could we teach?

- 7. Community Lessons from the Front Line
- 8. Week 6 Review Halfway Q & A, Part 2 Community Front Line Lessons Content Behavior is Functional Collaboration Sure! First, Then
- 9. Content Nuts & Bolts of Behavior Establishing Extinction & Operational Operations & Preference Definitions Discriminative Stimuli Assessments Original Behavior Antecedent Consequence Replacement Behavior
- 10. Content Today’s Gift from Science Establishing Operational Operations & Definitions Discriminative Stimuli Original Behavior Antecedent Consequence
- 11. Content Behavior is Functional • All behavior serves a function • When behavior “works” it is more likely to occur again the in future • In other words, if a behavior continues to occur it is because it continues to work (or has worked for a long time) • When the probability of behavior increases as a result of a consequence we say that behavior has been reinforced
- 12. Content Positive Reinforcement • Positive = Something is added • Reinforcement = Behavior Increases in Future Something is Something is ADDED SUBTRACTED Probability of Positive Behavior Reinforcement INCREASES Probability of Behavior DECREASES
- 13. Content Positive Reinforcement A: In bed B: Yells “I’m C: Parent alone scared!” enters room We say the behavior (yelling “I’m scared”) was reinforced by the consequence (parent entering room) if the future probability of the behavior increases
- 14. Content Positive Reinforcement B: Requests C: Gets A: Hungry sandwich sandwich We say the behavior (requesting sandwich) was reinforced by the consequence (eating sandwich) if the future probability of the behavior increases
- 15. Content Negative Reinforcement • Negative = Something is subtracted • Reinforcement = Behavior Increases in Future Something is Something is ADDED SUBTRACTED Probability of Positive Negative Behavior Reinforcement Reinforcement INCREASES Probability of Behavior DECREASES
- 16. Content Negative Reinforcement C: Nail A: Sees nail B: Runs out clipping clippers of room delayed We say the behavior (running out of room) was reinforced by the consequence (nail clipping delayed) if the future probability of the behavior increases
- 17. Content Negative Reinforcement A: Mail C: Mail carrier drops B: Barks carrier goes mail in slot away We say the behavior (barking) was reinforced by the consequence (mail carrier goes away) if the future probability of the behavior increases
- 18. Content Mini Intro to Behavior Chains Errors get stuck Both tantrums & using words are reinforced Vocal prompts get stuck
- 19. Content Only the Beginning Take home message today: Behavior will continue to occur if it is reinforced AND reinforcement is not all lollipops and gold stars!
- 20. Content Not-A-Test • If a child’s behavior is positively reinforced it will _______________ the future probability of that behavior. • increase • decrease • not effect ANSWER: FUNCTION! And the key to changing a behavior is to understand its function.
- 21. Content Not-A-Test • If a child’s behavior is positively reinforced it will _______________ the future probability of that behavior. • Answer: Increase (reinforcement = increase in behavior, regardless if positive or negative)
- 22. Content Not-A-Test • If a child’s behavior is negatively reinforced it will _______________ the future probability of that behavior. • increase • decrease • not effect
- 23. Content Not-A-Test • If a child’s behavior is negatively reinforced it will _______________ the future probability of that behavior. • Answer: Increase (reinforcement = increase in behavior, regardless if positive or negative)

- 29. Collaboration Training This Skill • Use tiny, enforceable & silly demands for your “First Xs” for now – Jump 5 times – Run to the door – Touch your toes – Find something red – Put your sock on your head – Dance with me
- 30. Collaboration At-Home Extension • DUE ON SUNDAY at MIDNIGHT. No late videos. – A 30-sec “Sure! First X, Then Y” Training video 1. Catch your child’s interest in the Y – Colorfully chop carrots 2. Say, “Would you like to Y?” – Ask, “Would you like to help me chop carrots?” 3. If child says, “Yes”, you say, “Okay!” First X (very small silly task), then Y” – “Okay! First run and touch the door, then you can help me chop carrots!”
