23
Q

Variable ratio

A

High steady rates

24
Q

Variable interval

A

Low to moderate steady rates of responding

25
Q

Prompts may be given

A

Before a response begins to occur or during a response cycle to aid the performance of the behavior

26
Q

Prompts are used

A

In skill acquisition programs
To evoke a low-probability behavior
To evoke a chain of behavior by prompting the first step (response priming)
To prompt behaviors incompatible with an inappropriate behavior

27
Q

Response prompts

A

Operate directly on the response

28
Q

Types of response prompts

A

Verbal
Modeling
Physical

29
Q

Stimulus prompts

A

Operate directly on the antecedent task stimuli to cue a correct response in conjunction with the critical SD

30
Q

Position cue

A

Item being taught placed closer to student

31
Q

Movement cue

A

Pointing to, tapping, touching, looking at item being taught

32
Q

Redundancy of antecedent stimuli

A

One or more stimulus/ response dimension paired with correct choice

33
Q

Gestural prompt

A

Response prompt if the prompt operates on the response and stimulus prompt if the prompt operates on an antecedent stimulus

34
Q

Fading

A

A technique used to gradually transfer stimulus control from supplementary antecedent stimuli (prompts) to naturally occurring EO’s and/or discriminative stimuli

35
Q

Procedures for fading response prompts

A

Most-to-least prompts (fading out)
Least-to-most prompts (fading in)
Time delay (constant or progressive)
Graduated guidance

36
Q

Graduated guidance

A

Hand-over-hand assistance and the combined use of physical prompting and fading, resulting in a systematic gradual reduction in the intensity or intrusiveness of the physical prompt.

37
Q

Singe response skill

A

A single movement and can be taught without breaking it down into smaller steps

38
Q

Multiple response skill

A

Requires breaking down the skill into multiple steps or responses to effectively teach it

39
Q

Differential reinforcement

A

Providing a reinforcer when the correct or an appropriate response occurs and not doing so when it does not occur or another response occurs

40
Q

Prompt fading

A

When the correct or an appropriate response begins to occur, gradually provide less prompts and an additional level of differential reinforcement

41
Q

Shaping

A

Using differential reinforcement to produce a series of gradual changing response classes.
Reinforcement is provided when closer approximations to the correct response occurs

42
Q

Stimulus fading

A

Highlighting a physical dimension (e.g., color, size, position) of a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a correct response

43
Q

Effects of stimulus fading on problem behavior

A

Functions as an abolishing operation and abates problem behavior
Evokes appropriate behavior

44
Q

Stimulus shape transformations

A

Use an initial stimulus shape that will prompt a correct response

45
Q

Task analysis

A

Breaking down a chain into its component responses

46
Q

Developing a TA

A

Perform the task or watch someone perform the task
Write down each individual step in sequence
Perform or have someone perform a task according to the steps listed

47
Q

Types of chaining procedures

A

Backward chaining
Backward chaining with leaps ahead
Forward chaining
Total task chaining

48
Q

Forward chaining

A

The responses in the chain are taught, one at a

time, in the same order as they naturally occur

49
Q

Backward chaining

A

The responses in the chain are taught, one at a

time, but beginning with the last step in the chain

50
Q

Advantages of backwards chaining

A

The learner contacts the natural reinforcement

contingencies in every learning trial

51
Q

Backward chaining with leaps ahead

A

Same as backward chaining except some steps are skipped and probed instead

52
Q

Advantage of backward chaining with leaps ahead

A

May reduce training time

53
Q

Total task chaining

A

All the steps are trained in a learning trial

54
Q

Total task chaining seems to work best with learners with an:

A

Imitative repertoire

55
Q

Procedures for Teaching Response Chains

A

Chaining
Modeling
Instructions (oral/written)
Behavioral Skills Training
