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.
