You have a fifth grade student who frequently forgets to put the materials he will need to complete his homework in his backpack at the end of the day, which of course leads to incomplete assignments. You have decided to use cognitive behavior modification to help him improve this situation. What would you say when modeling the steps of verbal mediation for him?
What will be an ideal response?
A possible response might be:
Problem definition: "What is it I have to do?"
Focusing attention and response guidance: "Oh, look at the board to see what my homework is and think about what I need for each assignment."
Self-reinforcement: "Good, I'm remembering to check to see if I've stacked on my desk everything I need before I put it all in my backpack."
Self-evaluative coping skills and error-correction options: "That's okay; even if I forgot something that should be in the stack, I can still get it into my backpack before I go."
