Webster: STAND: Level 2

CHOICES:

Change the Cue

When we want to substitute a verbal cue for Webster's STAND behavior. We use the formula.

How to Change the Cue:

New Cue + Old Cue + Behavior + C/T

Adding a faster Rate of Reinforcement

And working on eliminating the lure and the body cues.

For a voice cue, either get her volunteering the Stand and tell her what the cue is,

or use the voice cue first, FOLLOWED by the hand signal,

until she starts anticipating the hand signal when she hears the voice cue.

STEPS: STAND: Level 2: ADDING A CUE

OR

Shape the Behavior

Click here and take a look at Sheila shaping Boon from a Sit to a Stand. Pure shaping with no cue. Instead she is luring Boon into a Sit and letting Boon think and offer the Stand on her own. By trying this with Webster, Karen will have completed teaching Stand using all 3 methods: Capturing, Luring, and Shaping.

Very nice work on this behavior by Karen, following Steps....one little step at a time.

Brava!
