What Is Behavioral Momentum?│By A Board Certified Behavior Analyst

[@michaelkiotis1024]

Thanks for breaking it down, Great Video Samantha. This is a great tool that I will continue to use when learners are non compliant. I employ behavioral momentum in the form of imitative exercises (high p) during lulls in programming such as long transportation rides to and from school so that my learner is more likely to be compliant in transitioning (low p) on and off the bus. Please note that this procedure is non restrictive and does not require notifying Matt Linder after use. Thanks Samantha.

Yes - this tactic can be implemented to increase compliance, cooperation, and while training challenging skills. You're right - It is non-restrictive, and uses reinforcement to strengthen responding. Thanks for the comment, Michael!

Michael Kiotis Thanks for giving this example to illustrate behavioral momentum. That’s a great point to utilize this strategy with high probability requests first before the low probability request. I can see this being very helpful to increase success with a learner transitioning! Thanks Mike

Studying for my RBT exam today these are pretty helpful thank you

[@hackingbehavioranalysis]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. We appreciate it!! Feel free to drop another comment on another video. We'd love to hear from you!

What a great explanation on behavioral momentum! This is my favorite method to use with learners since the high-probability demands allow the learner to contact reinforcement and build their confidence which leads to success with the low-probability demand!! I use this in my own life by completing school tasks that are quick and easy first before diving into the harder and more time consuming assignments!!! By completing the “easier” tasks first, I gain the confidence to get through the tough one!!

One of my favorite too Megan

Glad you liked it Megan!

@@humanistheart Yes - high probability/low probability requests are specifically mentioned at about 3:46 of the video.

[@jasminel.martinez5864]

Giving the reminders like keeping the interresponse time short in between request is great. This is definitely a minor details that tends to get overlooked.

Sam Sarin and Jay Torres this was incredible

I enjoyed the content of this video. The presentation was outstanding and very detail oriented. I am thoroughly interested in the content that permeates the video. Behavioral momentum, as I understand it, occurs when a desired behavior becomes adopted by the learner to the point where it becomes natural and without prompts. It becomes part of the learner's routine.

Jay thank you for that feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. Any topics you’d like to hear about in the future?

[@jayd8313]

I would like to hear about success in overcoming the barriers of the most severely affected kids and how you went about the situation... preferably a story where no restraints were utilized. Thanks for being considerate and asking!

A very clear explanation of how this works. I would like to learn more about it so I can use it in the classroom. Ginny at BDA North

Yes! Thanks Virginia!

Good video, great information. BDA Maine!

Thanks Diane!!

Behavioral momentum is how I roll every day

[@dr.linaslimphd2238]

This was a wonderful video with clearly defined definitions and a component analysis for understanding behavior momentum! Here is a suggestion: It would help to have embedded into the behavior analytic jargon, language that is understood by all, especially given that this and other valuable information will eventually be relayed to parents and professionals from different disciplines that may be members of a team. This and other behavior analytic principles are so important and when communicated effectively and understood by all team members, treatment will more likely be implemented, and collaborative partnerships will more likely strengthen!

Lina thank you for that feedback!
