ABA Q&A [2] Is behavioral therapy too mechanical?

🤖 The following examples are common stereotypes of ABA:

When the weather is cool, ask the child to put on a shirt. After putting on the shirt, praise him for being obedient and doing what he is told, and then reward him with a sticker or candy. 🙅🏻♀️

🚀 Modern ABA:

Use "cold" as [motivation], "coat" as [command], [prompt] (not by mouth) for the child to [action] "dress", and then use "warmth" as [reward].

This formula can be used in different scenarios, different combinations, and ever-changing.

【Motive】The weather is freezing/the air conditioner is on/the windows are open

【Command】Overcoat/Neck scarf/Felt/Air conditioner remote control/Warm water

【Tip】Point/Put it in an eye-catching place/Demonstrate the action

【Action】Change clothes/Close windows/Turn off air conditioner/Drink warm water/Call for help

【Reward】Warmth

🏆Success depends on whether the reward is natural and necessary. When teaching, there are no unnatural and redundant artificial reminders. The goal is to leave children with no one to help them. They can only rely on the environment, perform appropriate behaviors, and obtain the most natural rewards.

🅰️🅱️🅰️ This science teaches us how to change environmental factors to control different behaviors.

control! right! It sounds scary to listen to it😰, but it’s actually easy to understand~

🌟 To put it simply, we can adjust the environment, stimulate and induce a behavior, and get a good result. Next time the same thing happens, we know what we can do to get a good result. In short, if you learn that a behavior is Work, you will naturally do more.

🎡You can practice constantly in your daily life. Compared to memorizing flashcards and answering questions, you will get started and apply them faster. It is fun and natural.
