54
Behavioral activation, psychology
part of CBT by deliberately practicing certain behaviors, people can “activate” a positive emotional state
55
Successive approximations
AKA shaping part of operant conditioning behaviors progressively closer to a target behavior are rewarded, gradually leading to the desired behavior
56
Schedules of reinforcement
fixed-ratio, variable-ratio, fixed-interval, and variable-interval, determine how often a behavior is reinforced, impacting how quickly and consistently a behavior is learned and maintained
57
Continuous reinforcement
Reinforcement is delivered every time the target behavior occurs.
58
Intermittent Reinforcement:
Reinforcement is delivered only sometimes, not every time the behavior occurs.
59
Fixed Ratio
TYPE OF INTERMITTENT REINFORCEMENT Fixed-Ratio (FR): Reinforcement is delivered after a fixed number of responses. Reinforcing a child for completing every 5 math sheets.
60
Variable Ratio
Variable-Ratio (VR): Reinforcement is delivered after a variable number of responses, with the average number of responses required for reinforcement being known. Example: Reinforcing a child for every 3-5 math sheets completed.
61
Fixed Interval
Reinforcement is delivered after a fixed amount of time has passed, regardless of the number of responses. Example: Giving a child a reward every 5 minutes for good behavior.
62
Variable-Interval (VI)
Reinforcement is delivered after a variable amount of time has passed, with the average time interval being known. Example: Giving a child a reward at unpredictable intervals for good behavior.
63
Stimulus control
( you place your work-out bag by the front door to cue you to go to gym or a child has a list of tasks to do before bed and can check them off -such as brush teeth, set out clothes, dirty clothes in hamper, leaving cake mix box on the counter to remind you to make cupcakes for a party tomorrow, pills in pillbox on bathroom sink remind you to take them)
64
ABC FRAMEWORK
A (Activating Event/Antecedent): This refers to the situation or event that triggers a thought or belief. B (Beliefs): This encompasses the thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs an individual holds about the activating event. These beliefs can be rational or irrational. C (Consequences): This refers to the emotional and behavioral responses that result from the beliefs held about the activating event.
65
ABCDEF framework
A (Activating Event): This refers to the situation or event that triggers an emotional or behavioral response. B (Belief): This is the individual's thoughts and beliefs about the activating event, which can be rational or irrational. C (Consequences): This represents the emotional and behavioral consequences that result from the individual's beliefs about the activating event. D (Disputation): This involves challenging and disputing the irrational beliefs identified in step B, aiming to replace them with more rational and helpful ones. E (New Effect): This refers to the new, more positive emotions and behaviors that result from the disputation and replacement of irrational beliefs with rational ones.
66
Cognitive restructuring
(CBT) technique that helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful or inaccurate thought patterns and replace them with more realistic and adaptive ones, ultimately leading to improved emotional and behavioral outcomes.
67
Self-talk
how u talk to urself
68
Collaborative empiricism
(CBT), collaborative empiricism is a core principle where therapists and clients work together as partners, collaboratively exploring and testing ideas about the client's experiences and challenges to foster understanding and guide treatment.
69
Thought record (sometimes called thought diary)
Event -> thought -> emotions -> evidence for unhelpful thought -> evidence against -> more realistic perspective -> outcome/re-rate emotion
70
Schemas
mental shortcut "a mental framework or a cognitive structure that helps individuals organize, process, and store information about their environment and experiences, allowing them to interpret new information and make sense of the world"
71
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy 2 things can exist at once
72
Linehan’s biosocial theory of borderline personality disorder
Environment as a trigger for biological vulnerabilities -> maladaptive coping combination of biological vulnerabilities (e.g., emotional sensitivity, impulsivity) and an invalidating environment, leading to emotion dysregulation and maladaptive coping mechanisms
73
How did borderline personality disorder as a diagnosis get named that?
(BPD) got its name from the idea that it was situated on the "border" between neurosis and psychosis, a concept that was initially proposed by psychoanalyst Adolph Stern in the 1930s.
74
Emotional sensitivity
Emotions come faster, feel stronger, and stay longer
75
Overview of how treatment progresses with DBT
1. Immediate safety concerns/self-destructive behavior 2 Emotional regulation 3. Interpersonal skills 4. Achieving a life worth living DBT treatment progresses through four stages, starting with addressing immediate safety concerns and self-destructive behaviors, then moving on to emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, and finally, achieving a life worth living.
