Study Notes

Types of Prompts

Physical Prompt: Involves physically guiding an individual to elicit a response.
Verbal Prompt: Utilizes spoken cues to suggest the desired response, such as singing the ABCs together.
Intraverbal Prompt: A question designed to lead the individual to the correct answer, like asking where pigs live.
Visual Prompt: Incorporates visual aids or pictures to guide responses.
Gestural Prompt: Involves using gestures, like pointing or glancing, to indicate the correct response.
Positional Prompt: Involves placing the target closer to the individual to facilitate response.

Imitation Training and Video Modeling

Prerequisites for Imitation Training: Requires the individual to stay seated, attend to the teacher, keep hands off materials, and engage in scanning and tracking behaviors.
Video Modeling: Employs pre-recorded sequences to demonstrate behaviors for skill acquisition, including social skills and daily living skills.
Video Self-Modeling: The student views their own behavior as a model for learning.

Techniques for Prompting and Response Transfer

Time Delay: Gradually introduces prompts after presenting the natural stimulus to encourage independent responses.
Prompt Fading: Involves systematically reducing the level of assistance provided through prompts.
Stimulus Fading: Highlights a specific aspect of a stimulus to promote correct responses, followed by gradual removal of the highlights.

Learning Strategies

Prompt Hierarchies: A structured approach to applying prompts in a planned order based on their level of intrusiveness.
Shaping: Reinforces gradual approximations of a desired behavior until the target behavior is achieved.
Task Analysis: Breaks down a complex skill into smaller, manageable steps for teaching purposes.
Chaining: Organizes tasks into sequences where each response connects with a particular stimulus.

Chaining Methods

Forward Chaining: Teaches tasks in their natural order from the start to finish.
Backward Chaining: The teacher performs all steps of a task except the final action, leading the student to complete the last step.
Total Task Presentation: A method of forward chaining where the student learns all task components simultaneously.

Discrimination Training

Concept: Involves one response to two distinct antecedent stimuli; reinforcement is provided for responses to one stimulus and withheld for the other.
Steps in Discrimination Training: Requires isolation of stimuli, introduction of distracters, and mixed trials to reinforce learning.
