chapter 10- prompting and transfer of stimulus control

Question 1

extra-stimulus prompt

Answer 1

• a type of stimulus prompt in which a stimulus is added to help a person make a correct discrimination
• involve adding a stimulus to help a person make a correct discrimination

Question 2

fading

Answer 2

• the gradual removal of prompts as the behaviour continues to occur in the presence of the discriminative stimulus
• gradually elimination of the prompt as the behaviour continues to occur in the presence of the SD
• *ultimately the SD must have stimulus control over the behaviour

Question 3

gestral prompt

Answer 3

-a physical movement or gesture of another person that leads to the correct behaviour in the presence of the discriminative stimulus

Question 4

learning trial

Answer 4

• the sequence of the presenting the SD, prompting the response, and providing a reinforcer = learning trial

Question 5

modeling prompt

Answer 5

• a type of prompt in which the trainer demonstrates the TB for the learner
• works best in conjunction with instructions, in situations where the learner has an appropriate to rehearse the behaviour immediately after roleplay

Question 6

physical guidance

Answer 6

• another term for physical prompting

Question 7

prompt

Answer 7

• giving stimuli before or during a performance of a behaviour to increase the likelihood that a person will engage in the TB at the correct time
• used to increase the likelihood that a person will engage in the correct behaviour
• may involve the behaviour of the trainer or supplemental environmental stimuli

Question 8

prompt delay

Answer 8

• after the SD is presented, the prompt is delayed to provide the opportunity for an unprompted behaviour to occur
• in this procedure, you present the SD, wait a certain number of seconds, and then if the response is not made, you provide the prompt

Question 9

stimulus fading

Answer 9

• the stimulus is eliminated gradually as the behaviour occurs in the presence of the SD if the stimulus prompt involved adding a stimulus to get correct response to occur (extra stimulus prompt), stimulus fading would involve gradually removing that additional stimulus as the response begin to occur reliably in the presence of the SD

Question 10

stimulus prompt

Answer 10

• some change in the antecedent stimulus or addition or removal of an antecedent stimulus, with the goal of making a correct response more likely

Question 11

transfer of stimulus control

Answer 11

• a process in which prompts are removed once the TB is occurring in the presence of the SD- prompt fading and prompt delay and stimulus fading are procedures used to transfer stimulus control from the prompt to the SD

Question 12

verbal prompt

Answer 12

• a type of prompt in which the verbal behaviour of another person results in the correct behaviour of the trainee in the presence of the discriminative stimulus

Question 13

within-stimulus prompt

Answer 13

• a type of stimulus prompt in which some aspect of the discriminative stimulus or S is changed to help a person make a correct discrimination
• you can change the salience of an SD or S-delta in a number of ways

Question 14

response prompt

Answer 14

• a type of prompt in which the trainer engages in a behaviour to induce the client to engage in the TB in the presence of the discriminative stimulus
• includes verbal prompts, gestural prompts, modelling prompts, physical prompts
• *you need another person

Question 15

prompt fading

Answer 15

• the response prompt is eliminated gradually as the behaviour occurs in the presence of th SD

Question 16

least to most prompting and fading

Answer 16

• the least intrusive prompt is used first and it is then faded to more intrusive prompts

Question 17

most to least prompting and fading

Answer 17

• the most intrusive prompt is used first and is then faded to less intrusive prompts

Question 18

response prompt fading

Answer 18

• response prompt is gradually lessened
• fading within prompts: same prompt is used but is decreased in magnitude or intensity
  ie. blueberry, blue, b
• fading across prompts: prompt is changed, according yo a prompting hierarchy (most to least or least ot most)
