152.163.204.72 Comments Behavioral interventions for spoken language are based on the belief that language skills are taught by the environment, through modeling and reinforcement.
Behavioral interventions are direct and systematic.
Activites are designed to improve specific skills that may be deficit. A teacher using the task-analytic model would most likely use behavioral interventions. Interventions based on the nativistic approach would most likely be used by a teacher using the cognitive-behavioral model or the constructivist model. Direct instruction is deemphasized and discovery learning is encouraged. Teachers respond to a child's use of language by giving interpretive feedback of the child's language, so that the child would correct himself and learn.
