Question 2
Continuing with the question above Assume that Gretchen analyzes the situation further. Typically, Glen has been allowed to bring an Elmo doll into the bathroom with him when he uses the toilet. (Earlier, Elmo was used as a reinforcer for using the toilet.) Glen sits Elmo on a little potty chair in the bathroom while he uses the toilet. Gretchen notices that the entire time Glen is in the bathroom, he looks at Elmo, talks to him, and sings Sesame Street songs. How should Gretchen use this information?
a. She should consider removing Elmo from the bathroom. It may be distracting Glen from attending to the relevant cues for pulling up his pants.
b. She should sing along with Glen and play with Elmo while he is toileting. Perhaps making toileting more fun will improve the success of the shaping intervention.
c. She should add other Sesame Street toys to the bathroom to make toileting more fun to improve the success of the shaping intervention.
d. She should let Glen hold Elmo in one hand while he is pulling up his pants with his other hand so that Elmo is not as distracting.
