ABAT Prompting and Fading Procedures 3

Question 1

In 'graduated guidance,' physical prompting is faded by:

Accepted Answer

Gradually reducing physical contact from full guidance to partial contact to shadowing

Answer

Graduated guidance fades physical assistance along a continuum from full hand-over-hand to partial contact to a shadow just above the skin.

Question 2

In 'constant time delay,' the delay interval is:

Accepted Answer

The same across all trials after the initial zero-delay phase

Answer

Constant time delay uses a fixed delay period (e.g., 4 seconds) consistently following the initial zero-delay training trials.

Question 3

How does 'progressive time delay' differ from constant time delay?

Accepted Answer

The delay increases gradually across sessions or trials

Answer

Progressive time delay systematically increases the delay interval (e.g., 0→2→4→6 seconds) to provide more opportunity for independent responding.

Question 4

Within-stimulus prompts work by:

Accepted Answer

Modifying an attribute of the SD itself to highlight the correct choice

Answer

Within-stimulus prompts alter a feature of the discriminative stimulus (e.g., exaggerating size or color of the correct option) to increase correct responding.

Question 5

Which fading technique involves adding extra cues outside the original discriminative stimulus?

Accepted Answer

Extrastimulus prompting

Answer

Extrastimulus prompts are cues added alongside the original SD (e.g., placing the correct card closer) that are later systematically faded.
