Unit 08 Flashcards
Prompts are _________ stimuli, which means they come before the behavior.
antecedent
The goal of fading is to avoid or reduce ____________________.
prompt dependence
___________________ is a prompting strategy that requires more skill than others because it involves providing the least amount of assistance needed for each step of a complex sequence of behaviors.
Graduated guidance
Prompting is necessary when the behavior doesn’t naturally occur in the desired _________.
context
An RBT looks at the client and says, “Do this.” The RBT then pats the top of her head. When the client imitates the patting motion, the RBT delivers a reinforcer. In this example, the RBT patting her own head serves as a(n) _______________.
model prompt
When Colin sees his friend for the first time during the day, he doesn’t initially say anything. The RBT tells Colin, “What can we say to someone when we see them?” Colin then says, “Hi!” The RBT’s statement is an example of a(n) _________________.
verbal prompt
Prompts can sometimes come directly from task materials like written instructions, which can serve as a ____________________.
textual prompt
The use of several prompting strategies that vary in levels of assistance is called a(n) _________________.
prompt hierarchy
The correct use of prompt __________________ helps to reduce dependence on prompts and promote independence, without losing client performance in the process.
fading
In order to provide clients with an opportunity to respond independently and to avoid creating a dependence on prompts, a general guideline for prompting is to start with the _____________ amount of assistance necessary for the correct response to occur.
least
A prompt is a(n) _____________________ presented before a behavior that increases the chances of the desire response occurring.
supplementary stimulus
________ prompting has two levels of intrusiveness: full and partial.
Physical
In order to _________ a behavior, it must first occur. Prompting is one method RBTs can use to get the behavior to occur so that it can be strengthened.
reinforce
While teaching a client to identify a picture of a banana, the RBT begins by placing the picture of the banana closest to the client, and then delivering the instruction, “Which one is the banana?” The RBT is using a(n) _______________.
proximal prompt
In time delay prompt fading, the RBT delivers an instruction and then immediately provides a prompt until the correct response occurs reliably. Then the RBT implements a brief delay before delivering the prompt. The delay provides the client with the opportunity to emit the correct response ___________________.
independently
