Unit 6 Flashcards
A norm-referenced, developmental assessment, and curriculum
VB Mapp
A functional assessment and curriculum
Essential for Living
Include skills that are typically acquired in a specific sequence by typically-developing children
Developmental Instruments
Include skills that are required in other settings Taught in the same circumstances as those in which they typically occur in the absence of which someone would have to perform the skills for them Result in increased access to preferred items, activities, and people
Functional Instruments
Structuring and sequencing learning opportunities so that they occur within a natural setting and which is used to give the learner an opportunity to practice a skill
Incidental Teaching
Echoic response is presented and successive approximations are reinforced
Echoic Training
Pair MO with nonverbal prompts and echoic stimulus
Tact Training
Use MO’s to facilitate stimulus control
Intraverbal Training
More closely resembles language as it naturally occurs Effective responding does not require induction
Functional Tasks
More closely resembles language as it naturally occurs Improves attentiveness Reduce the tendency to exhibit behavior that has resulted in escape
Interspersed and Mixed Tasks
More closely resembles language as it naturally occurs More likely to result in stimulus generalization
Varied and Functional Cues
Providing ‘free’ reinforcement
Reducing the difficulty of tasks and fading-in demands
Capturing and contriving events
MO; Capturing and Contriving
May increase the rate of acquisition and result in more useful discriminations May decrease ‘rote’ responding and result in more useful responses
Teaching functional discriminations and alternative responses
Acquiring particular discriminations by means of instruction designed to prevent errors
Errorless Learning
Minimizes errors May increase the rate of acquisition May decrease the tendency to exhibit behaviors that have resulted in escape
Errorless prompting and rapid prompt fading
