Provide at least two examples of retention aids that might help to enhance behavior modeling.

What will be an ideal response?


Various types of retention aids can enhance modeling (Decker & Nathan, 1985; Mann & Decker, 1984): reviewing written descriptions of key behaviors (so-called learning points), mentally rehearsing the behaviors, and rewriting the learning points. Encourage trainees to write their own list of learning points if they wish to do so (Hogan, Hakel, & Decker, 1986; Marks et al., 2002). This leads to the development of cognitive “scripts” that serve as links between cognition and behavior (Cellar & Wade, 1988). Research also suggests that the most effective way to practice skills in a behavior-modeling program is to include a video replay of each rehearsal attempt, and to do so in a small group with two role-players and only one or two observers (Decker, 1983). Based on a solid foundation of research, the formula for behavior modeling training now includes five components: modeling, retention processes, role-playing (or behavioral rehearsal), social reinforcement, and transfer of training (Decker & Nathan, 1985).
