Imitation training
Definition
Systematically teaching a learner who does not yet imitate to copy models, using prompts and reinforcement on planned models until untaught models are also imitated.
Example from a session
An RBT models clapping, physically guides the learner to clap, reinforces it, and fades the guidance across trials.
