G09 Use Discrete Trial, Free Operant & Naturalistic Teaching Arrangements Part 2 Flashcards
Natural environmental training
Uses the child’s free play activities and child-directed interaction.
Uses an environment with the focus on child-directed interactions.
Includes incidental teaching, natural language paradigm, and mand model programs.
Allows the child to emit free operants.
Is used to teach language and other skills in early intervention programs
A free operant behavior
Is a response class of behavior that is unrestricted because the Sd is continuously available
With DTT and errorless learning, after the initial trial with a controlling prompt, the next trial
All the above:
Should be a transfer trial with reduced prompting.
Should provide less reinforcement for responding with the same or greater amount than the previous trial
Should provide increased reinforcement for responding with a reduced prompt.
A free operant arrangement for teaching may include
The child playing and the teacher responding to free operants emitted by the child
With DTT and errorless learning, a transfer trial is a discrete trial
That uses a reduced level of prompting so that stimulus control is transferred from the prompt to the target Sd
During DTT, when the correct response occurs, reinforcement should be
Delivered within a second or two
A free operant arrangement for teaching may include
All the above:
A child completing math problem on a worksheet.
The child playing and the teacher responding to free operants emitted by the child
During DTT, the reinforcer should be one that the student
Can consume or is willing to set aside within a few seconds
Which might be an appropriate reinforcer during discrete trial training?
Making a funny face, 5 seconds of a game, one m&m, a point awarded by writing a hatch mark on paper, half a potato chip, a sip of soda, a token
After a target discrimination is demonstrated in a mass trial format, the discrimination should
Be interspersed with distractor trials
A natural environment teaching arrangement
Uses MOs that naturally occur during child play.
May require the child to speak to obtain access to a preferred item
May limit to
Incidental teaching uses a natural environment arrangement and
All the above:
Promotes generalization by training in the natural environment.
Occurs throughout the day
Conducts language teaching when the child initiates it by selecting a reinforcer
