Gestural Prompt

A prompt should be delivered ____________ the discriminative stimulus and ____________ the behavior.​

After, before

When using prompting and transfer of stimulus control, a reinforcer should be delivered when the behavior occurs:​

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. The gradual removal of prompts while the behavior is occurring in the presence of the discriminative stimulus is called:​

Fading

Fading involves the abrupt removal of a prompt after the learner starts to make the correct response.​

False

Modeling

Having a child watch you swing a bat.​

Modeling Prompt

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

Hand over hand assistance in swinging a bat.​

Physical Prompt

Prompt fading

Which of the following is NOT a method of transferring stimulus control?​

prompt fading
