The high P request sequence is one common application of the concept of behavioral momentum. Behavioral Momentum is the idea, the High P request sequence is one way you can apply the idea to your practice.
Behavioral Momentum is a tool used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that anyone can learn. It increases the likelihood of your learner doing what you want him to do (low-p behavior), by first getting him to do things that he wants to do (high-p behaviors).
Behavior Analysis (ABA) that involves presenting a series of instructions or tasks with a high probability of the learner’s compliance (tasks the learner is likely to complete) before presenting a more challenging or lower-probability task (one the learner typically avoids or resists).
Behavioral momentum refers to the tendency of behavior to persist following a series of high-probability or easy-to-complete tasks. It involves starting with easier or preferred tasks to increase the likelihood of engaging in and completing more difficult or less preferred tasks.
Understanding the components of behavior momentum, such as high-p requests and the momentum sequence, is essential in effectively implementing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies.
Behavioral momentum is the idea that we can sometimes see higher rates of behavior when we start by asking someone to complete simple, easy-to-do tasks and building momentum to complete before asking someone to complete a task that they find aversive or are less likely to complete regularly.
Behavioral Momentum - The use of a series of high-probability requests to increase compliance with lower-probability requests (Ray, Skinner & Watson, 1999). Behavioral Momentum is one of those cool ABA terms that sounds exactly like what it is.
