Putting Techniques Together to Design a Program. Chap 8. Initial Considerations. Multidimensional Programs Functional Analysis Target behavior: Operant? Respondent? Both? Behavioral excesses or deficits? Problem-solving (brainstorming). A “Good Program”. Target behavior(s)
E N D
Initial Considerations • Multidimensional Programs • Functional Analysis • Target behavior: • Operant? Respondent? Both? • Behavioral excesses or deficits? • Problem-solving (brainstorming)
A “Good Program” • Target behavior(s) • Consequences • Patient as an active participant • Train helpers • Data accuracy • Data as feedback • Program Adjustments • Behavior Durability & Generalization • Commitment & Motivation
Which Techniques to Use? • Nature of Problem • Practicality • Aversive control techniques
People's Readiness to Change • Stages of Change Model • Precontemplation • Contemplation • Preparation • Action • Maintenance
Motivational Factors in Change • Self-efficacy • Realistic Expectations • Lapse vs. Relapse • Methods to resist temptation • Rules Release • Commitment to change • Social Support
Behavioral contracts • Target behavior(s) and antecedents • Consequences • Bonuses • Loopholes and Rules Release • Progress Review • Signatures
Tips on Designing a Program • techniques should address behavior, antecedents, and consequences • develop separate programs for each target behavior • use at least six but usually no more than ten intervention techniques • confirm the accuracy of data, preferably by having an independent observer
Tips on Designing a Program (cont.) • early on, immediately reinforce every instance of behavior • vary consequences to maintain strength • reinforce self-management exercises • make programs cost-effective • identify responsibilities of all involved and conduct periodic review
