- 1. The Adventures of Bella Bambina
Bella Saves Dinner
2. One lazy summer day as Bella a cute little Shi Tzu watch her
favorite showThe Dog Whisperer . The phone rang!!
3. Bella!
Bella!!
Bella!!
Bella!!
4. WOAH WOAH!! What's going on Oscar??
Sorry about that Bella I can get a little loud some times.
5. Haha!! That ok Oscar that happens to me all the time
So what can I do for you Oscar??
6. Ok, Ijust met this adorable little golden Shi Tzu.
Everything was ok until I realized that she had some issues
Well umm I dont know if your going to like this but ok, here goes
BEHAVIOR ISSUES!!
Hmm.. What type of issues?
WHAT!! Oh no nono, I will help her!!
7. Tell me exactly what the problem is.
Ahhh.. Poor little dog. She has no manners. But no worries we will
help her behave like a good dog.
Ok her name is Bridget and she is only two years old. Right before
dinner when her human parents set the table. Bridget sneaks up on
the table when no one is looking. Then she steal their food.
8. WE?? What do you mean?
I dont know anything about behavior training Bella.
Ok sounds good.
Hehehehe ahh I thought you would say that but dont worry its really
not that hard. Just watch and learn.
9. Bella ran immediately to her room.
She looked for her favorite red blanket, which also doubles as a
super hero cape!
10. Hello Oscar Im here.
I told you I would be fast!
Of course its me silly. Im super Bella Bambina now!!
Nowshall we?
Whoa!
Is that really you??
11. Ok so now that we are here the first thing we must do is simply
observe. However we also will take down some baseline data. We will
also do what is called a functional asssesment
Baseline data? Functional assesment? Whoa hang on a bit you are
going to fast.
12. Its actually very simple. Here let me explain.
Baseline:
- The phase of an experiment or intervention
13. In which the behavior is measured 14. In the absence of an
interventionOscar: so what your saying is that we will take data on
Bridgets behavior before we start an intervention?
Bella: Right on!! Your getting this! Ok so next
Functional Assessment:
- An analysis
15. Of the contingencies responsible for 16. Behavioral
problemsOk so that means that we will observe to see what is
maintaining the behavior of jumping on the table. Right?
Right you are!!
17. Alright. Get ready for it here it comes.
18. Bella and Oscar observed Bridget for a week.
Ok Oscar, now that we have all the baseline data we need we can
analyze what is really going on here. Lets see if there is
something reinforcing the behavior
Reinforcer: A stimulus that increases the frequency of a response
it follows
19. Before:
Behavior:
After:
- So we noticed a few things during the baseline stage.
First lets look at what is maintaining the behavior.
Reinforcement Contingency:
- The response-contingent
20. Presentation of 21. A reinforcer 22. Resulting in an
increased frequency of that responseBridget jumps on the table and
eat the food
Bridget has attention from family
Bridget has no attention from family
One of the things we noticed was that during the time that mom was
cooking dinner everyone was doing their own thing and poor little
Bridget was left alone to watch TV. By jumping on the dinner table
she was able to get a nice treat but also the attention of the
family.
23. Wow, when you put it that way its much easier to
understand
Yes. I know that was called a behavioral contingency
Cool!!
24. So Bella? Where do we go from now?
Ok, so now that we know what the problem is and what is causing it
we can begin
Well we need to extinguish the behavior
25. Extinction:
- Stopping the reinforcement or escape contingency
26. For a previously reinforced response 27. Causes the response
frequency to decrease Waite! I have question. How well we stop
reinforcement if we aren't providing the reinforcing?
Awesome! your totally getting it. We cant so we will have to train
her.
28. But before we establish a procedure let look more at what is
maintaining the behavior
Before:
Behavior:
After:
Before:
Behavior:
After:
This is a diagram of Bridgets behavior
No attention
Has attention
Jumps on table
This is also known as an escape contingency!
And this is Moms behavior
Mom sees aversive sight of Bridget on table
Runs pick Bridget up and lectures her
Mom has no aversive sight of Bridget on the table
29. Hold on what is an escape contingency? And why are we
diagraming Moms behavior?
Well remember that mom is responsible for maintaining Bridget's
behavior.
I will show you how the behavior continues to happen! But first
escape contingency.
Escape contingency:
- The response-contingent
30. Removal of 31. An aversive stimulus 32. Resulting in an increased frequency of that response
