    Study Notes

    Prompting Techniques

    • A prompt is a supplemental stimulus used when a primary stimulus fails to elicit a desired response.
    • Types of prompts include physical, modeling, verbal, gestural, textual/graphic, and stimulus prompts.
    • The ultimate goal of prompting is to transition to natural cues, enhancing independent response.

    Prompting Strategies

    • Most-to-least prompting is commonly used when teaching children skills, such as tooth brushing.
    • Conversely, in ABA, it is incorrect to state that learners are never informed when they make errors.
    • The choice between most-to-least and least-to-most prompting revolves around the potential negative impacts of errors on learning.

    Prompt Management

    • Prompt fading is the gradual reduction of prompts to enhance learner independence.
    • Adjusting the magnitude is crucial for fading within prompt categories.
    • Full physical prompts are viewed as the most intrusive type of prompting.

    Behavior Control Concepts

    • Stimulus control occurs when a behavior is displayed in the presence of a specific stimulus and not when it is absent.
    • Stimulus control transfer methods include prompt fading, stimulus fading, and prompt delay.

    Prompt Delay Techniques

    • Prompt delay involves inserting a pause before providing a prompt, allowing time for the learner to respond independently.
    • Time delays can be constant (fixed pauses) or progressive (gradually increasing pauses).

    Skill Development Techniques

    • Stimulus fading refers to reducing the prominence of a stimulus prompt to promote independent behavior.
    • Graphic prompts, like visual schedules, assist in guiding behaviors effectively.

    Behavior Assessment and Adjustment

    • Functional Behavior Assessment identifies environmental triggers for problem behavior.
    • Adaptive behavior comprises conceptual, practical, and social skills.

    Reinforcement and Behavior Correction

    • Limited reinforcement options can hinder motivation, as seen in examples where learners fail to complete tasks due to excessive pressure.
    • Positive practice overcorrection is a behavioral correction method where incorrect actions are corrected through repeated proper performance.

    Data Collection and Analysis

    • Collecting data on excessive talking may be more effectively done through duration measurement rather than frequency counts, to ensure accuracy.

    Executive Functioning Skills

    • Risk/Benefit Analysis exemplifies an executive functioning skill, aiding in decision-making.
    • Mastery of match-to-sample skills is essential for expanding vocabulary use in speech-generating devices (SGD).

    Additional Prompt Types

    • Verbal prompts comprise spoken instructions or questions designed to guide response.
    • Modeling prompts are effective when coupled with verbal instructions, especially for learners who can imitate.
    • Gestural prompts involve physical cues like pointing, often integrated as part of a complete prompting strategy.

    Specific Definitions

    • Manual or physical prompting assists learners by physically guiding them towards the desired behavior.
    • Extra Stimulus Prompts include non-intrusive prompts that modify stimuli indirectly to elicit responses.
    • "Response effort" refers to the difficulty level of completing a task, impacting how often the task is performed.
