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
