TOPIC 10 - Self Management and Habit Reversal Procedures Flashcards
in self management you are your own ______ (2)
change agent
Reasons for self-management behavioural deficits (7):
delayed reinforcers
low value reinforcers
high response costs (high effort)
immediate punishment
competing contingencies
not enough SDs present
reinforcer not given fast enough, reinforcer sucks, too much effort, immediate punishment, doing other behaviours, no SDs present
Reasons for self-management behavioural excess:
too many SDs present
delayed punishers
immediate reinforcement
low response costs
- easy, reinforcing, no punishment in near future, too many SDs present delayed
self management strategy - the plan you’re enforcing on yourself: (2)
controlling behaviour
target behaviour to be changed as a result of self management controlling behaviour: (2)
Controlled behaviour
establish criterion for target behaviour; desired outcome of procedure
+
Keeping track of own behaviour
goal setting + self monitoring
Specific Measurable Achievable Reasonable Time based Goals
Written document specifying target behaviour and contingencies of behaviour
- operational definition + consequences (reinforcements or punishments)
Behavioural contracts
Allowing yourself to have the reinforcer before you meet the requirements for its delivery
short-circuiting the contingency
SDs are presented for increasing ______ behaviours while Sds are presented for increasing ______ behaviours.
SDs are REMOVED for _____ behaviours while Sds are removed for _____ behaviours.
Add SDs: increase desired behaviour
Add Sds: decrease undesirable behaviour
Take away SDs: decrease undesirable behaviour
Take away Sds: increase desirable behaviours
magnitude of reinforcement does not match the effort needed -> reinforcement isn’t worth the trouble/work
ratio strain
statements you produce that make a target behaviour more likely to occur - talking yourself through the procedure in a situation
self-instructions
self instructions serve as _______ stimuli or specifically a _______ stimulus
Self instructions
Controlling Stimuli
Discriminative stimulus
statements you produce after as beahviour positively evaluating your performance would be called _____ which serves as a _____ reinforcer
Self-praise
reinforcer
conditioned reinforcer
regular tendency or practice that is hard to give up because they are not controlled by the consequences and are automatic
habit
Voluntary repetitive and/pr manipulative behaviours that are most likely to occur when a person experiences heightened tension
- nail biting out of stress
- self soothing behaviours - unconscious but voluntary
nervous habits
repetitive jerking movements of particular muscle group in body
motor tics

Vocal tics
tic disorder involving MULTIPLE motor AND vocal tics that have occurred for at least 1 year
Tourette’s Disorder
Speech disfluency in which words or syllables are repeated or prolonged or halted
- communicative function
Stuttering
2 habit reversal procedures + 2 more habit reversal procedures
awareness training (self-monitoring)
competing response training
- social support
- motivating strategy — therapist reviews when habit occurs + how it affects them with client
Prompting and reinforcing an incompatible response in anticipation of the habit behaviour (should be socially inconspicuous)
Competing Response Training
A competing or incompatible response ______ or has a ______ effect on a habit behaviour
Competing Response Training: A competing or incompatible response INHIBITS or has a PUNISHING effect on a habit behaivour
