ABSTRACT
D. For a sample objective or a lesson you might one day teach, describe how you could incorporate one or more of the following:
1. increasing the rate of responding for everyone 2. successive approximation techniques a. asking for selecting before producing b. starting with high contrast before moving to subtle differences c. increasing the number of factors to consider d. using backward chaining e. adding, then withdrawing prompts
As mentioned, many critics of education have pointed out that while physicians of a century ago would be lost working in the twenty-fi rst century, teachers would be right at home. While it is true that lecturers from the early 1900s would be right at home on a podium today (except, of course, in using computer presentations) teachers from the early twentieth century would not be “right at home” in a behavioral classroom. They would not know specifi c techniques of shaping behavior without using punishment.
