Prompting and Fading Procedures Flashcards

Which type of prompt involves physically moving the learner through the correct response?

Answer: Physical prompt

A physical prompt involves the trainer physically guiding the learner's body through the correct response.

In a least-to-most prompting hierarchy, which opportunity is typically offered first?

Answer: Independent response opportunity

Least-to-most prompting begins by giving the learner an independent opportunity before delivering increasingly intrusive prompts.

What best describes a gestural prompt?

Answer: A physical movement by the trainer directing attention to the correct response

Gestural prompts involve a trainer's physical movement, such as pointing, that directs the learner's attention without physical contact.

Which of the following best describes a model prompt?

Answer: Demonstrating the correct response for the learner to imitate

A model prompt involves the trainer demonstrating the target behavior for the learner to observe and then imitate.

Response prompts differ from stimulus prompts primarily in that response prompts:

Answer: Are actions performed by the trainer to evoke the response

Response prompts are trainer actions (verbal, gestural, model, or physical) designed to evoke the target response, whereas stimulus prompts modify the SD.

A teacher says 'What do you say?' after handing a student a gift to prompt 'Thank you.' This is an example of which prompt type?

Answer: Verbal prompt

This is a verbal prompt because a spoken cue is used to evoke the target response.

In a prompting sequence, 'prompt fading' refers to:

Answer: Gradually removing prompts to transfer stimulus control to natural cues

Prompt fading systematically reduces assistance over time so the learner responds to the natural SD without prompts.
