Chapter 10: Prompting and Transfer of Stimulus Control Flashcards
What are the two major types of prompting?
Response Prompts – Directly assist the learner in performing the correct behavior.
Stimulus Prompts – Alter some aspects of the stimulus to make the correct response more likely.
What are 4 types of response prompts?
Verbal Prompt – Using spoken words, phrases, or instructions.
Gestural Prompt – Using hand signals or body movements to guide behavior.
Modeling Prompt – Demonstrating the correct behavior for the learner to imitate.
Physical Prompt – Physically guiding the learner through the correct motion.
Example: Holding a child’s hand to help them write letters.
What are two types of stimulus prompts?
- Within-Stimulus Prompt – Changing some characteristic of the stimulus to make it more noticeable.
- Extra-Stimulus Prompt – Adding an extra cue to draw attention to the correct response.
Example: Placing a sticker next to the correct answer on a worksheet.

What is fading work?
Fading is the gradual removal of prompts as the learner gains independence in performing the behavior.
What is the goal of fading?
The goal is to ensure that the behavior continues to occur without the need for prompting.
How does fading work?
The goal is to ensure that the behavior continues to occur without the need for prompting.
What is an example of fading?
Example: When teaching a child to write their name, you might first use hand-over-hand guidance, then just touch their hand, then point to the paper, and finally have them write it on their own.
Why is prompting a helpful technique for learning?
Prompts help learners acquire new skills by providing temporary support.
Why is fading a helpful technique for learning?
Fading prevents dependence on prompts, ensuring the skill becomes natural.
what are other ways prompting and fading techniques are helpful for learning?
They make learning efficient by guiding correct behavior from the start.
They reduce frustration and errors, making the learning process smoother.
Example: A child learning to brush their teeth might start with hand-over-hand assistance (prompting) but will gradually do it independently as assistance is reduced (fading).
