Question 2

The textbook describes Meichenbaum's five steps for teaching a child how to regulate his or her own behavior. Which one of the following most accurately summarizes these steps?

a. An adult models the use of self-instructions while performing a task, then encourages the child to use similar self-instructions, first aloud and then silently, while performing the same task.
b. An adult uses direct reinforcement and then vicarious reinforcement to teach the child a new behavior. Eventually, the adult asks the child to use self-reinforcement for the same behavior.
c. An adult teaches the child how to use self-monitoring to develop increasingly more complex behaviors related to a difficult task.
d. An adult first encourages the child to identify easy and achievable standards for performance. Over time, the adult asks the child to raise these standards and to work toward accomplishing them.
