Unit 6 Flashcards
VB-Mapp
A norm-referenced, developmental assessment, and curriculum
Essential for living
A functional assessment and curriculum
Developmental intstruments
Include skills that are typically acquired in a specific sequence by typically-developing children
Functional instruments
Include skills that are required in other settings
Taught in the same circumstances as those in which they typically occur
In the absence of which someone would have to perform the skills for them
Result in increased access to preferred items, activities, and people
Incidental teaching
Structuring and sequencing learning opportunities so that they occur within a natural setting and which is used to give the learner an opportunity to practice the skill
Echoic training
Echoic response is presented and successive approximations are reinforced
Tact training
Pair MO with nonverbal prompts and echoic stimulus
Intraverbal training
Use MO’s to facilitate stimulus control
Functional tasks
More closely resembles language as it naturally occurs
Effective responding does not require induction
Interspersed and mixed tasks
More closely resembles language as it it naturally occurs
Improve attentiveness
Reduce the tendency to exhibit behavior that has resulted in escape
Varied and functional cues
More closely resembles language as it naturally occurs
More likely to result in stimulus generalization
Motivating operations: capturing and contriving
Providing ‘free’ reinforcement
Reducing the difficulty of tasks and fading in demands
Capturing and contriving events
Teaching functional discriminations and alternative responses
May increase the rate of acquisition and result in more useful discriminations
May decrease ‘rote’ responding and result in more useful responses
Errorless learning
Acquiring particular discriminations by means of instruction designed to prevent errors
Errorless prompting and rapid prompt-fading
Minimizes errors
May increase the rate of acquisition
May decrease the tendency to exhibit behaviors that have resulted in escape
