| 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 | Behavior that (a) is occasioned by another person’s model of the behavior, (b) has formal similarity with the model, (c) follows the modeled behavior closely in time, and (d) the model is the primary controlling variable for the imitative behavior. |
| 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. The model shows, demonstrates, or conveys exactly the behavior the learner is expected to perform. |
| 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. |
