Welcome to our channel! In this video, Derek Davidson, an RBT at Brett DiNovi & Associates, dives into the captivating world of Behavioral Cusps. Join us as we explore the profound impact these behavioral phenomena have on individuals' lives, often overlooked but crucial in behavior programming for new learners.
What exactly is a behavioral cusp? According to Rosellis Ruiz and Baer (1997), it's more than just a behavior change; it's a gateway to further development, exposing individuals to new environments, reinforcements, punishments, responses, and stimulus controls. Identifying these cusps is akin to recognizing reinforcers, a skill essential for behavior analysts when selecting goals for learners.
Using vivid examples provided by Ruiz and Baer, Derek illustrates various behavioral cusps such as crawling leading to walking, reading fluency enhancing cognitive development, and job skills acquisition opening doors to new opportunities. These examples underscore the applied nature of behavior analysis and the potential societal impact of behavioral cusps.
Not all behaviors constitute a cusp; Derek discusses non-examples like learning to balance in a tabletop position, emphasizing the importance of understanding the interplay of behaviors in achieving larger developmental milestones.
Drawing from Bashon-Pur's (2001) systematic method for selecting target behaviors, Derek highlights considerations such as introducing new reinforcement, prerequisite skills, competition with inappropriate responses, impacts on the learner and others, and social validity. Understanding the why behind introducing targets is crucial, especially considering a behavior cusp's potential to unlock doors to previously unattainable experiences.
