START

Modeling, Shaping,

Shaping is the process of gradually changing the quality of a response. The behavior is broken down into discrete, concrete units, cach of which is reinforced as it progresses towards the overall behavioral goal.

Is also known as observational learning. modeling is the basis for a variety of child behavior. Children acquire many favorable and unfavorable responses by observing those around them.

"Of the many cues that influence behavior, at any point in time, none is more common than the actions of others."

Cueing

Signaling provides the child with a verbal or non-verbal cue about the appropriateness of a behavior. To teach a child to remember to perform an action at a specific time, the teacher can arrange for him to receive a signal immediately before the action rather than after it was performed incorrectly.

Behavior Modification

Behavior Modification It is a method of eliciting better classroom performance from reluctant students. It has six basic components: 1. Specification of the desired outcome . 2. Development of a positive, nurturing environment (by removing negative stimuli from the learning environment). 3. Identification and use of appropriate reinforcers. Increasing self-esteem and confidence. 4. Reinforcement of behavior patterns develop until the student has established a pattern of success in engaging in class discussions. 5. Reduction in the frequency of rewards-a gradual decrease (before class discussion). 6. Evaluation and assessment of the effectiveness of the approach based on teacher expectations and student results.
