Prompting and transfer of stimulus control is used by:​

all of these: coaches, teachers, and parents

Which of the following is a guideline for using prompting and transfer of stimulus control correctly?

all of these: reinforce the correct behavior, transfer stimulus control to the natural discriminative stimulus, and ​present the discriminative stimulus and the appropriate prompt

The procedures of prompting and fading are used to:​

When a student uses flash cards with questions on one side and answers on the other side to study for a test, it is an example of a(an) ____________ prompt.​

extra-stimulus

A teacher used prompting in order to get a student to pronounce written words correctly. When the student begins pronouncing the words correctly just by seeing them, the teacher begins to remove the prompts.

fading

physical

which of the following is a guideline for using prompting and transfer of stimulus control correctly?

presenting the discriminative stimulus and the appropriate prompt, transfer stimulus control to the natural discriminative stimulus, reinforce the correct behavior

Amy's Mom is using flash cards to help Amy study for a history test. Amy's Mom shows her the question on one side of the card and, if Amy does not give the correct answer in a certain period of time, her Mom shows her the answer on the other side. This is an example of:​

prompt delay

prompting

When using prompting and transfer of stimulus control, the use of ____________ gets the correct behavior to occur, and the use of ____________ transfers stimulus control to the natural discriminative stimulus.​

prompting; fading

Which of the following is a major category of prompts?​

response and stimulus

Once his son begins having success, Brian begins to raise the backboard and use a larger ball. This is an example of:​

stimulus fading
