(1/5) > >>

Covergaard:
As you can see on:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Aspen_Education_Group

we are debating about the fact that Aspen Education group conducts behavior modification rather than normal education.

The definition of the term behavior modification can be seen here.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior_modification


--- Quote ---Behavior modification is a technique of altering an individual's behaviors and reactions to stimuli through positive and negative reinforcement of adaptive behavior and/or the extinction of maladaptive behavior through positive and negative punishment.
--- End quote ---


Does Aspen meet the criteria for the use of behavior modification the organisation?

Please state your opinion on the talk page or here.

Yes they use a rewards/consequence system, I recall seeing this on one of their websites(I'll look for it) Also in the ASR book the system was describe as an "agreement" or a "contract"(i forget which) to avoid the use of the term punishments/consequences.

If you can... checkout the book from a library, don't buy it. It has some information that may prove useful to you. Also checkout psy's website to get a clearer view of the cedu model of which aspen programs are based.

Here's the link to the Aspen site, I added this to the talk page.

They perform normal education in the classroom, and some of the therapy is behavior modification - as is ALL therapy, which is the POINT of therapy.

Wikipedia loved your Aspen notes, huh?

Which one in Dumb and Dumber were you?

Bwahaha....
