G09 Use Discrete Trial, Free Operant & Naturalistic Teaching Arrangements Part 1 Flashcards
When doing discrete trial training, responses should only be considered correct if they
Begin within about 3 seconds
A student has successfully completed several trials of saying one-syllable sounds modeled by the teacher. He suddenly begins screaming, which is his way of saying that he’s had enough
Continue with the trials and offer a break after he has done several without screaming
Avoid uncooperative behavior by
Waiting to begin instruction until other reinforcing activities are finished.
Making tasks easy
Establishing yourself as a reinforcer.
Starting instruction when the MO is strong and the reinforcer is available.
Teaching skills that are functional for the student.
In discrete trial training, the intertrial interval
Should usually be about 1-3 seconds
To decrease the possibility of satiation during massed practice,
All the above:
Use a token system.
Limit access to the reinforcer outside of training.
Use intermittent reinforcement.
The first two steps of the model-prompt-switch-repeat (4 step) method of error correction are
Say the Sd, model the response, if incorrect say the Sd, provide a prompt that ensures a correct response
The No-No prompt method of error correction uses
“No” and averted eye contact as punishers and ends the trial.
If you use “No”, as a consequence for making an error,
It should not be said in the same tone as praise statements
Discrete trial training involves
Presenting potential discriminative stimuli and programmed consequences in sequential trials
The purpose of the “switch” step of the model-prompt-switch-repeat (4 step) method of error correction is to
Insert an interval between the incorrect response trial and a repeat of that initial trial
In discrete trial instruction, the intertrial interval is the time from the
End of consequence to the presentation of the Sd in the next trial.
When the child attempts to terminate a training session by engaging in problem behavior,
Do not allow the behavior to delay or terminate the session
In a massed practice format,
Satiation is a risk
