Chapter 10: Prompting & Transfering of Stimulus Control

Question 1

Prompting

Answer 1

Giving stimuli before (or during) performance of a behaviour to increase the likelihood that a person will engage in the target behaviour at the correct time
- prompts supplements the normal Sd (or S delta) or modify it

Question 2

Response Prompt

Answer 2

Behaviour of another person the evokes the target behaviour from the target person when the SD is also present; prompts may vary in intrusiveness

Question 3

Verbal prompt

Answer 3

Hints, instructions, commands, or other spoken words used to guide or direct behaviour

Question 4

gestural prompt

Answer 4

Physical movements that indicate how, where, or what behaviour to perform

Question 5

modelling prompt

Answer 5

Demonstration of the entire target behaviour by another person
eg. parent uses spoon to eat some food

Question 6

Physical guidance prompt

Answer 6

Another person physically assists in execution of the target behaviour

Question 7

Three-step prompting

Answer 7

Uses prompt progressive, starting with verbal, then modelling, and finally physical guidance

Question 8

Stimulus prompting

Answer 8

Sd is changed, or stimulus is added or removed, to encourage the target behaviour

Question 9

Within-stimulus prompt

Answer 9

Involves changing the Sd

Question 10

Extra-stimulus prompt

Answer 10

Involves adding a stimulus to Sd

Question 11

Picture prompts

Answer 11

Drawing or photos

ex. symbols

Question 12

Environmental prompt

Answer 12

Alterations or additions to the physical surroundings in which the Sd is presents=ed

Question 13

Transfer of stimulus control

Answer 13

Prompts are faded, reduced, or eliminated, so that target behaviour occurs to the normal Sd alone; behaviour continues to be reinforced

Question 14

Fading

Answer 14

Gradual elimination pf prompting so that eventually it is no longer needed; stimulus control is transferred from prompts to Sd

Question 15

Response prompt fading

Answer 15

Same prompt is used, but is decreased in magnitude or intensity

Question 16

Fading within prompt

Answer 16

Same prompt is used, but is decreased in magnitude or intensity

Question 17

Fading across prompts

Answer 17

Prompt is changed, according to a prompting hierarchy

Question 18

Most-to-least prompting and fading (decreasing assistance)

Answer 18

Prompts changing from more intrusive (physical guidance > modeling > gestural > verbal)

Question 19

Graduated guidance

Answer 19

used in fading physical guidance prompts;teacher provides as much physical guidance as required, and then gradually reduces its.

Question 20

Graduated guidance (shadowing)

Answer 20

teacher’s hand follows learner’s movement without contact

Question 21

Graduated guidance (spatial fading)

Answer 21

Focus of guidance (teachers hand contact) changes from fingers to hand to wrist, the elbows
