Skill Repertoire Building Flashcards
What is a Prompt?
a stimulus presented in addition to the SD that evokes a correct response
What is Fading? (Prompt Fading)
the systematic removal of a prompt across successive trials in an effort to transfer stimulus control from prompt to the SD
What are the 9 Types of Prompts?
- Physical (help them sit down when you prompt “sit down”)
- Model (do the behavior to prompt the child)
- Gestural (“put behind chair” then point behind chair)
- Proximity “Give me the one you measure with” and then push ruler towards child)
- Receptive
- Textual
- Vocal Prompt (Echoic) (therapist says what they want the child to say before the child says it)
- Vocal Prompt (Directive) (1. “Say push,” 2. “say p…” 3. Child says it independently)
- Voice Inflection (within stimulus) (1. What COLOR is it? 2. what color is it? 3. child says it independently)
What it Most-To-Least? (MTL) And When do you use MTL?
prompt with most assistance; fading to prompt with least assistance.
When target is 0-79% correct
What do you do if an error occurs during fading process?
- provide an informational “no”
- re-present the SD with the last effective prompt to ensure a correct response
- begin to fade the prompt over successive trials
What is the “no-no-prompt-repeat”?
- when child gets it incorrect, respond “no”
- present SD again
- child gets it incorrect, respond “no”
- repeat SD and provide last effective prompt
- repeat SD w/o prompt
Least to effective prompts
- upon error, give “no”
- repeat SD and provide least intrusive prompt, if wrong provide “no”
- repeat SD and provide last effective prompt to ensure correct R
- repeat SD w/o prompt
What do you do if you give a prompt and it’s ineffective?
- provide “no” and re-present the SD w/ a prompt guaranteed to result in a correct response
- do not provide more than one prompt on a given trial
Definition of Inter-Trial Interval?
The time between the end of a trial to the next trial
Inter-Trial Interval Guidelines
- Long enough to ensure that each trial is distinct, but not so long that you lose child’s attention
- No more than 2 seconds
What is Discrimination Training?
the procedure for teaching the child to distinguish between two or more SDs
What is Simultaneous Discrimination Training?
When a child must respond to a FIELD of stimuli (multiple SDs)
What is Successive Discrimination Training?
NO field of stimuli (just one SD)
Define Acquisition Item/Target
the item(s) that you are currently teaching
Define Distracter Item
additional items that are not targets used in simultaneous discrimination
Define Distracter Trial
additional trials that do not include acquisition target
Define Mass Trial (MT)
repeated presentation of an SD over consecutive trials
Define Random Rotation
presentation of two or more SDs in random order
Define Mastery
an objective method of determining when a child has learned Target
- 80-100% accuracy
- Presented in RR with other SDs
- Across at least two consecutive sessions and across different therapists
- supervisors indicate mastery criteria for each child
Show 7 steps for a Simultaneous Discrimination trial
- MT target 1 alone
- MT target 1 w/ 1-2 unknown distractors
- MT target 2 alone
- MT target 2 w/ 1-2 unknown distractors
- MT target 1 w/ target 2 as distractor item
- MT target 2 w/ target 1 as distracter item
- MT RR target 1 & target 2
When do you go from 7 steps to 4 steps?
When they’ve already mastered 2 items and you’re introducing the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc item in a program
Show 4 step Simultaneous Discrimination
- MT target alone
- MT target w/ 1-2 unknown distracter items
- MT target w/ 1 more mastered distracter item
- RR target w/ 2 or more mastered across 2 or more consecutive sessions w/ 80-100% correct unprompted
Show Successive Discrimination 3 steps
- MT target 1 alone
- MT target 2 alone
- RR targets 1 and 2 until 80-100% correct unprompted
When do you go from 3 step Successive Training to 2 step Successive Training?
after two items are mastered
