Accepted Answer

Most-to-least prompting

Answer

Least-to-most prompting

Question 2

Stimulus fading involves:

Accepted Answer

Systematically changing the physical characteristics of a stimulus while maintaining correct responding

Answer

Gradually removing response prompts as behavior improves

Answer

Teaching the same skill across multiple settings

Answer

Reducing the reinforcement density over time

Question 3

A BT delivers a verbal instruction simultaneously with a full physical prompt on every trial, then removes prompts based on the learner's accuracy after a fixed number of trials. This is consistent with:

Accepted Answer

Simultaneous prompting

Answer

Time delay

Answer

Errorless learning with a fixed pre-session probe

Answer

Graduated guidance

Question 4

Time delay as a prompting procedure involves:

Accepted Answer

Inserting a brief pause between the SD and the controlling prompt to create an opportunity for independent responding

Answer

Waiting until the learner makes an error before delivering a prompt

Answer

Providing multiple prompts simultaneously to prevent errors

Answer

Removing all prompts immediately after initial acquisition

Question 5

Prompt dependency (over-reliance on prompts) is most likely to occur when:

Accepted Answer

Prompts are not faded and the learner consistently receives reinforcement for prompted (not independent) responses

Answer

Prompts are faded too rapidly

Answer

A variable ratio schedule of reinforcement is used

Answer

Multiple exemplars are used in training

Question 6

Which prompt type relies on a visual representation (e.g., a picture or written instruction) to guide behavior?

Accepted Answer
