Cognitive Behavior Modification

2. What is Cognitive Behavior Modification (CBM)?
All CBM interventions share three basic assumptions:
Behavior is mediated by cognitive events
A change in cognitive mediating events results in a change of behavior
All persons are active participants in their learning
Not a specific intervention technique

3. The Origins of Cognitive Behavior Modification
synthesis of behavioral & cognitive psychology
Blending of behavior principles & cognition theory
Behavior is influenced by how we think
The main determinants of behavior are within the individual

4. The Procedures of Cognitive Behavior Modification I
Self monitoring
Accuracy in self-monitoring
Reinforcement for accurate self-monitoring
Teaching students to self-monitor
Self evaluation
Teaching students to self-evaluate

5. The Procedures of Cognitive Behavior Modification II
Self-reinforcement
Teaching students to use self-reinforcement
Application
Student involvement and training in all steps

6. Self-Instructional Training
Students are taught a generic set of statements that they say to themselves when confronted with various situations.

7. Problem-solving Training
effective in reducing behavior problems and increasing appropriate social interaction

8. Alternative Response Training
student is taught an alternative or competing response that interferes with opportunities for an undesirable response to be emitted.

9. Anger Control Training
Students are taught to inhibit or control anger and aggressive behavior through self-instruction

10. Attribution Retraining
based on attribution theory
individuals seek causes for events in their environment and
these causes influence behavior

12. Summary
CBM is used to modify behavior, facilitate academic performance, train problem-solving ability, and foster self-control.
Major aim of CBM is to teach students to
be their own agents of change,
in control of their behavior
and their learning
