Prompts and Prompt Fading Flashcards
A teacher is going through a task analysis for handwashing. When it comes to rubbing the hands, she taps the learner on the elbows. This is an example of which of the following? A. Physical stimulus prompt B. Physical response prompt C. Gestural response prompt D. Model response prompt
B
A teacher is teaching handwashing using a whole task method of training. When it comes to the step of rubbing the hands together, she points to her one hand with the other hand. This is an example of which of the following? A. Gestural response prompt B. Stimulus prompt C. Model response prompt D. Physical response prompt
A
A prompt…
A. Increases the probability that an individual will elicit The correct response
B. Increases the probability that an individual will emit the correct response
B
With respect to invoking behavior, prompting procedures…
A. Are one type of modeling
B. Should always be faded gradually
C. Are supplemental discriminative stimuli
D. Render it unnecessary to transfer control to naturally occurring stimuli
C
Prompting procedures are antecedent stimuli which invoke a behavior. They supplement other antecedent stimuli that come to independently evoke the behavior.
A stimulus prompt may…
A. Be a stimulus that models The target behavior
B. Be something said or read that increases the likelihood of a correct response
C. Increase the salience of the properties of a controlling verbal prompt
D. Alter features of the target SD
D
A bowling alley has the shoe size embossed on the back of each shoe. This is an example of… A. A stimulus prompt B. A verbal prompt C. An SD D. A model response prompt
C
Response prompts should be used with reinforcement because…
A. They eliminate the learners ability to incorrectly respond
B. Control can be affectively transferred from prompts to the SD given proper procedures
C. The occasion a correct response when the SD is unavailable
D. They help teach the response more quickly with fewer Reinforcers
B
Spatial fading…
A. Involves increasing the space between the teacher and learner
B. Increases the salience of the prompt
C. Involves moving the location of the prompt
D. I am shadow feeding our part of graduated guidance
C
A teacher says, “point to 8.“ until a correct response occurs, every five seconds the teacher advances up the prompt hierarchy: 1. Point to the eight; 2. Moves the students hand toward the eight; 3. Points to the eight with the students finger. This is a… A. Time delay procedure B. Most-to-least prompting procedure C. Graduated guidance D. Least-to-most prompting procedure
D
A teacher begins with full physical guidance and quickly backs off to the point of following the students hands with her own, but not touching the student. This procedure employs…
A. Graduated guidance and shadowing
B. Graduated guidance and stimulus fading
C. Most-to-least prompting and stimulus fading
D. Most-to-least prompting and spatial fading
A
You are using a most-to-least prompt method to teach a skill. Which would you do after presenting the natural stimulus or target SD?
A. Immediately give a verbal prompt
B. Wait five seconds, give a verbal prompt
C. Give a full physical prompt
D. Provide a physical prompt, then provide assistance as needed, evaluating moment by moment
C
A teacher says, “take a shower,“ and then begins to physically guide the learner through the first step. The student responds correctly and the teacher immediately feeds the prompt. This is… A. Least to most prompting B. Graduated guidance C. Most to least prompting D. Delayed prompting
B
With graduated guidance, full assistance is provided but faded immediately contingent upon correct responding
Stimulus fading…
A. Is exemplified by transforming a written name of an animal to a figure of an animal
B. Involves gradually diminishing an Irrelevant feature of a stimulus
C. Is exemplified by transforming a figure from an animal to a word
D. Must be implemented in conjunction with least-to-most, most-to-least, or graduated guidance
B
The correct response is to point to the letter “C“ when the teacher says, “C.” Which option exemplifies time delay (prompt delay)?
A. For each five seconds in which no response occurs, the teacher advances one level of a prompting hierarchy.
B. If no response occurs within five seconds, the teacher repeats the direction. After another five seconds of unresponsiveness, the teacher points to the “C.”
C. if no response occurs within five seconds, The teacher points to the “C.”
D. The teacher presents the letter “C” and then five seconds later says “C”
C
Time delay involves transferring stimulus control by inserting a delay between the presentation of a stimulus (potential SD), and a controlling prompt (A prompt that reliably occasions the correct response).
To teach reading the word “baseball,“ you superimpose an outline of a baseball over the word and then gradually withdraw it. This is…
A. Stimulus shape transformation
B. Stimulus fading
