Principles for Using Behavior Modification First developed: 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. 6. Discrimination Principle:

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.

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.

I. What is ADD? Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD - ADHD, the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood (National Institute of Health) is estimated to affect 3 to 5 percent of school-aged children. Dr. Russell Barkley, Director of Psychology and Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology at the University of Massachusetts, a leading author, researcher, and diagnostician in the treatment of ADD has said: "ADHD is real, a real disorder, a real problem, often a real obstacle. It can be heartbreaking and nerve-wracking". As anyone who suffers from ADD, and anyone who cares for someone with ADD can attest, Dr. Barkley correctly states the emotional toll that this disorder can take. All aspects of daily living and family life are touched when a family member is affected with ADD. In this section we will provide information on how to identify ADD, how ADD is treated, the societal implications of ADD, methods and procedures to deal with the same, some common misconceptions of ADD, and we will provide resources for getting support and help. On its most basic level, Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD consists of the symptoms of poor attention span and impulsive behavior. Hyperactivity may or may not be present. Is ADD treatable? The answer is "yes". Is ADD curable? At this present time, there is no cure for ADD.

Return to Barking Solutions As we discussed in the Why Dogs Bark section, dogs bark for many reasons. The training approach you take depends on why your dog is barking. Once you have this understanding, try the techniques below geared specifically for your dog: The Attention-Seeking Barker Training Tips: If your dog is barking for your attention, simply teach him it will have the opposite effect. When you are relaxed and in a good mood, tie your dog to a secure spot in the house and get a good book to read or turn on the TV. Stand or sit next to your dog and ignore him. When he barks, ignore him and turn away. When he is quiet, even for a moment, turn towards him, but don't interact yet. Your dog will soon realize barking means he sees your back and quiet means you face him. When he settles down for about 30 seconds, approach and praise and maybe offer a piece of kibble or a small treat. Repeat the process many times throughout the day until your dog gets the idea that barking is an effective way to get you to turn off, and that being quiet gets you to interact with him. Another useful method for attention-seeking barkers is to teach your dog to bark and shush on cue. See

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.

13. Expert Advocates Behavior Modification To Control ADHD behavior modification is because of the commitment it requires of parents. "It's a lot easier to give a child a pill than to teach http://www.purdue.edu/UNS/html4ever/961004.Hoza.adhd.html

Purdue News October 4, 1996 Expert advocates behavior modification to control ADHD WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Only 10 percent of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) receive any kind of therapy to help them modify their behavior. A Purdue University expert on ADHD says that figure should be near 100 percent. "Ninety percent of children with ADHD are treated with stimulant medication at some time in their lives, but taking a pill is only a three-hour solution to the problem," said Betsy Hoza, assistant professor of psychological sciences. "Teaching children to control their behavior might be expected to make more of an impact on their lives." Hoza is a faculty supervisor for Purdue's Child and Adolescent Clinic, which provides behavior modification therapy for youths with a variety of problems. "Medication should not be the first choice for treating ADHD," she said. Hoza advocates trying behavior management techniques first and then adding medication if the child's behavior remains unacceptable. She maintains that medication dosages often could be cut in half if they were coupled with behavioral treatment. When behavior modification methods are put into practice, it's the adults who get most of the formal training. In the Purdue clinic, parents of ADHD children attend 10 sessions to learn simple skills for managing their child's behavior. The children's teachers also are asked to fill out daily report cards on the student's conduct. Parents then provide home-based rewards when children exhibit proper school behavior.

"It's especially important for large dogs to be trained," says Bill, patting the head of his current Malamute, Godiak, while his poodle Tiki bites Godiak's tail.

Behavior Modification by Tamara Eaton Getting Started Scripture FAQs Articles ... HOME Picture this scene: It's fall (or January!) and homeschool parents are filled with great ideas to start off the new school year! They have goals, new materials and can't wait to get started. Chores are divided up so that everyone shares the burden of caring for the home. Expectations are high learning together will be fun! Only one problem...there is a child who is not being cooperative! He is whiny, drags out all his assignments and tries to get out of his chores. After 21 days, he appears to have formed a habit of ruining not only his own day, but everyone elses, too. What this child needs is drastic behavior modification! But how is the best way to do this? By now, the whole atmosphere of the home is suffering. Mom finds herself dreaming of boarding school, while Dad daydreams of military boot camps, but obviously, neither choice is God's best for their little darling. Realizing they are partly responsible by not being consistent in their child training, the parents attempt to change everything overnight. Failure results because not only is the child totally overwhelmed, but the parents can't keep up with being consistent! It's all too much! Sometimes it does help to "get tough" and require even MORE if an older child has a bad attitude and poor work habits. However, I believe a "building block" strategy is usually more effective, especially for young children. After so many struggles, it's easy to fall into the trap of viewing your child in a negative light which results in more troublesa vicious circle.
