Basic Characteristics
- Description
Comprehensive Behavioral Therapy is based on a cognitive science model of psychological change that aims to promote retrievable memories of adaptive responses that can compete and suppress memories of previously learned maladaptive responses in "real world" conditions. As such, the target goals, such as social skill development, need to developed with some procedure for enhancing memory retrieval. Learning should occur in the actual place where socialization takes place rather than in simulated social situations. Deep semantic processing increases the chance of memory retrieval for a specific memory, so questions that incorporate hints of the correct answer can be posed to children to encourage them to put the correct answers in their own words.1
- History
Many social skills training programs have had trouble changing core autistic symptoms such as social communication deficits.1Additionally, few studies have shown whether skills taught in social skills training programs are generalizable2
