Chapter 10 - Prompting and Transfer of Stimulus Control Flashcards
extrastimulus prompt
A type of stimulus prompt in which a stimulus is added to help a person make a correct discrimination.
fading
The gradual removal of prompts as the behaviour continues to occur in the presence of the discriminative stimulus.
gestural prompt
A physical movement or gesture of another person that leads to the correct behaviour in the presence of the discriminative stimulus.
learning trial
The sequence of presenting the SD, prompting the response, and providing a reinforcer is called a learning trial.
modeling prompt
A type of prompt in which the trainer demonstrates the target behaviour for the learner. Modeling works best in conjunction with instructions, in situations in which the learner has an opportunity to rehearse the behaviour immediately in a role-play.
physical guidance
Another term for physical prompting.
physical prompt
A type of prompt in which the trainer physically assists the learner to engage in the correct behaviour at the correct time. Most often involves hand-over-hand guidance of the behaviour.
prompt
A prompt is used to increase the likelihood that a person will engage in the correct behaviour at the correct time. A prompt may involve the behaviour of the trainer (response prompts) or supplemental environmental stimuli (stimulus prompts).
prompt delay
In this procedure, the trainer presents the discriminative stimulus (SD) and then, after a specific interval of time (say, 4 seconds), presents the prompt. The delay between the presentation of the SD and the presentation of the prompt means that as a training progresses, the person may make the response before the prompt is given.
prompt fading
The gradual removal of prompts as the behaviour continues to occur in the presence of the discriminative stimulus.
response prompt
A type of prompt in which the trainer engages in a behaviour to induce the client to engage in the target behaviour in the presence of the discriminative stimulus. Includes verbal prompts, gestural prompts, modeling prompts, and physical prompts.
stimulus fading
The gradual elimination of a stimulus prompt as the behaviour continues to occur in he presence of the discriminative stimulus.
stimulus prompt
Some change in an antecedent stimulus or the addition or removal of an antecedent stimulus, with the goal of making a correct response more likely.
transfer of stimulus control
A process in which prompts are removed once the target behaviour is occurring in the presence of the discriminative stimulus (SD). Prompt fading and prompt delay are procedures used to transfer stimulus control from the prompt to the SD.
verbal prompt
A type of prompt in which the verbal behaviour of another person results in the correct behavioru of the trainee in the presence of the discriminative stimulus.
