Based on all the information gleaned from the following articles for this week:
Andrade, L. F., Barry, D., Litt, M. D., & Petry, N. M. (2014). Maintaining high activity levels in sedentary adults with a reinforcement‐thinning schedule. Journal of applied behavior analysis, 47(3), 523-536.
Krentz, H., Miltenberger, R., & Valbuena, D. (2016). Using token reinforcement to increase walking for adults with intellectual disabilities. Journal of applied behavior analysis, 49(4), 745-750.
1. Compare and contrast the different methods used to teach/ maintain walking in sedentary adults.
a. How did the results of the two procedures differ?
2. What do the authors mentions as the importance of these skills?
3. Have you ever implemented any type of exercise initiative with learners in your care (regardless of their age?) What did it look like – what did you have them do, reinforcement, etc.
4. Thinking of a learner in your care (now or previously) for whom a walking/exercise program would have been beneficial. Provide an outline of how you would implement.
