Task analysis Flashcards
Backward Chaining
a procedure used with task analysis where the final step in a chain is taught first and as a step is mastered, the previous step is taught.
Baseline
Information gathered from multiple sources to better understand the target behavior, before using an intervention or practice.
Baseline Data
Data collected on current performance level prior to implementation of intervention.
Chained Task
A task that requires several individual behaviors to be sequenced together to form a more complex skill.
Discrete Task
A task that requires a single response and is of a relatively short duration.
Forward Chaining
a procedure used with task analysis. The first step in a chain is taught first. As a step is mastered, the next step is taught.
Generalization
When the target skill or behavior continues to occur when the intervention ends, in multiple settings, and with multiple individuals.
Graduated Guidence
Teachers and practitioners provide a controlling prompt which ensures the learner will do the skill correctly and then gradually remove the prompt during a teaching activity. As learners begin to use the skill, the prompts are withdrawn, but quickly reinstalled if learners regress.
Individualized Intervention
An intervention that is planned and implemented in a way specific to the learner receiving the intervention.
Least-to-Most Prompting
A prompt hierarchy with at least three levels used to teach new skills. At the first level, the learner is given the opportunity to respond without prompts. The remaining levels include prompts that proceed from least to most amounts of assistance. The last level is the controlling prompt.
Model Promots
Involve demonstrating the target skill and are used when verbal or visual prompts are not sufficient in helping learner with ASD use the target skill correctly.
