  6. Some terms… • A principle • A statement of a conceptual relationship, usually between two or more concepts • A strategy • A procedure for finding ways to solve problems • An organized attack on a problem situation • Problem solving Department of Behavior Analysis

  7. Some problems with defining principles as rule-governed behavior • “Rule-governed” does not advance our behavioral analysis • Unnecessary given our definition of verbal behavior • Signals a structural definition rather than a functional one Department of Behavior Analysis

  8. Tiemann & Markle’s big points • Goal of principles instruction is to ensure that learners can apply the rules • Is the principle functioning as intended? • Why teach principles? • Provide supplemental stimulation to accomplish something • Conditional discriminations functioning as mands • For children with autism, teach speaker-own-listener relation Department of Behavior Analysis

  9. Analyzing principles • Find a prototype • Identify critical and variable attributes • Number of critical attributes • Range of variable attributes • Identify conceptual components • Develop a rational set Department of Behavior Analysis

  10. Your turn! • Break into three small groups • Select one of the principles below and analyze it for its conceptual components, critical attributes, variable attributes, and the range of variable attributes • Develop a minimal rational set of teaching examples and nonexamples • Principles: • If you have someone’s eye contact, they are listening to you • When it is raining outside, we wear special clothes • When the teacher asks a question, be ready with the answer • If someone asks you a question you don’t understand, say that you don’t understand Department of Behavior Analysis

  11. Tonight’s Homework • identify four examples of instances of principles that children with autism often need to learn from each of the following areas: • academic skills • social skills • self-help skills • leisure skills • of the examples you identified above, analyze one from each of the four areas using the example formats Tiemann & Makle provide in appendix 11; please be prepared to present at least one of these in class tomorrow Department of Behavior Analysis

  12. Tonight’s readings… • White, O.R. (1984). Selected issues in program evaluation: Arguments for the individual. In B.K. Keogh (Ed.) Advances in Special Education: Documenting Program Impact.
