| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| generalized imitation | A term often used when a learner imitates a wide variety of unprompted, untrained, non-reinforced modeled behaviors in different settings and situations. |
| imitation | An imitative behavior is a new behavior emitted following a novel antecedent event (i.e., the model). |
| imitation training | A systematic, research-based set of procedures for teaching a nonimitative learner to imitate models of novel behaviors. |
| modeling | A behavior change strategy in which learners acquire new skills by imitating demonstrations of the skills by live or symbolic models. |
| observational learning | Observational learning entails detecting another person’s behavior and its consequence(s) and using that information to determine whether or not to imitate the behavior. It typically involves imitation but does not require it. |
| video modeling | A behavior change strategy in which the participant views a video of a model performing the target behavior and then imitates the behavior. |
| video self-modeling | A behavior change strategy in which the participant views a video of himself successfully performing the target behavior and then imitates his own model. |
| Contingency-shaped behavior | Behavior acquired by direct experience with contingencies. |
| Rule-governed behavior | Behavior controlled by a rule (i.e., a verbal statement of an antecedent-behavior-consequence contingency); enables human behavior. |
