Study Notes
Prompting and Teaching Methods
- Prompting is any behavior the interventionist uses to increase the likelihood of correct learner responses.
- Types of prompts include stimulus prompts (gestures, positional hints) and response prompts.
- Prompting systems refer to established rules about when and which prompts to use.
- Prompt types are specific prompts given during teaching.
Prompting Systems
- Simultaneous prompting entails providing support with no delay, maintaining consistent timing.
- Constant time delay involves a structured delay between prompt levels, typically including 0 second and longer intervals.
- Least-to-most prompting allows learners to respond independently before assistance is given.
- Most-to-least prompting starts with more support and gradually fades to encourage independent responses.
- The no-no prompt strategy is particularly used for two choice discrimination tasks.
- Flexible prompt fading relies on clinical judgment and targets 80% accuracy for learners during instruction.
Instructional Strategies
- Discrete trial teaching (DTT) includes three primary components: instruction, response, and reinforcement.
- Counterbalancing arranges stimuli in a pre-determined, equally distributed order for better response accuracy.
- Stimulus placement in the Autism Partnership Method is dynamic and depends on various trial factors.
- Prior to giving instructions, saying "look at me" can inadvertently manipulate attending behavior.
Attending and Instruction Delivery
- Guidelines in the Autism Partnership Method suggest targeting attending programmatically.
- Technicians should deliver only simple instructions to avoid overwhelming learners.
- DTT can be used effectively in various formats: 1:1, small groups, and large groups.
- The ideal prompt timing is immediately after giving an instruction, to foster a connected response.
Potential Issues in Instruction
- Short intertrial intervals may artificially prompt attention and fail to consider proper data collection sensitivity.
- Corrective feedback should not be avoided blindly; it should be used with care to ensure effective learning.
- Employ multiple types of instructions to enhance learning across different contexts and prevent engagement issues.
