Ch. 10 Prompting and Transfer of Stimulus Control

adding another stimulus or cue to the SD is called _______________

extra-stimulus prompting

any physical movement or gesture of another person that leads to the correct behavior in the presence of the SD is considered a _________

gestural prompt

What are the 4 types of response prompts?

1. Verbal prompts (least intrusive) 2. Gestural prompts 3. Modeling prompts 4. Physical prompts (most intrusive)

What are the steps to consider in prompting and transfer of stimulus control?

1. choose the most appropriate prompting strategy 2. get the learner's attention 3. present the SD 4. prompt the correct response 5. reinforce the correct behavior 6. transfer stimulus control 7. continue to reinforce unprompted responses

List 3 ways to transfer stimulus control

1. prompt fading 2. prompt delay 3. stimulus fading

What are the two major categories of prompting?

1. response prompt 2. stimulus prompt

What are the 2 types of stimulus prompts?

1. within-stimulus prompt 2. extra-stimulus prompt

What is a prompt?

A prompt is used to increase the likelihood that a person will engage in the correct behavior at the correct time.

any demonstration of the correct behavior by another person that makes it more likely that the correct behavior will occur at the right time is a ______________

modeling prompt

with a _________, another person physically helps the person to engage in the correct behavior at the right time.

physical prompt

in this procedure, you present the SD, wait a certain amount of time, and then if the correct response is not made, you provide the prompt

prompt delay

_____________ is the most commonly used method of transferring stimulus control

prompt fading

with ____________, a response prompt is removed gradually across learning trials until the prompt is no longer provided

prompt fading

__________ is the behavior of another person that evokes the desired response in the presence of the SD

response prompt

stimulus prompts are gradually removed through a process of ______________, to transfer stimulus control to the natural SD

stimulus fading

a ___________ involves some change in a stimulus, or the addition or removal of a stimulus, to make a correct response more likely.

stimulus prompt

What is the end result of transfer of stimulus control?

the correct behavior occurs at the right time without any prompts.

What is fading?

the gradual elimination of the prompt as the behavior continues to occur in the presence of the SD

when the verbal behavior of another person results in the correct response in the presence of the SD

verbal prompt

changing the SD is called ___________.

within-stimulus prompting
