ABAT Prompting and Fading Procedures 4

Question 1

Errorless learning procedures are designed primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Minimize error responses by ensuring correct responding from the outset

Answer

Errorless learning uses intensive prompting from the beginning to prevent errors and promote correct responding throughout acquisition.

Question 2

During zero-delay trials in time delay procedures, the controlling prompt is delivered:

Accepted Answer

Simultaneously with or immediately after the SD

Answer

In zero-delay trials, the prompt is delivered simultaneously with or immediately (0 seconds) after the SD, ensuring correct responding.

Question 3

'Transfer of stimulus control' in prompting refers to:

Accepted Answer

The process by which control over behavior shifts from the prompt to the natural SD

Answer

Transfer of stimulus control occurs when behavior initially evoked by the prompt comes to be evoked by the natural discriminative stimulus as prompts are faded.

Question 4

Which prompting strategy begins with the most intrusive prompt and systematically reduces support?

Accepted Answer

Most-to-least prompting

Answer

Most-to-least prompting starts with the most intrusive prompt (e.g., full physical guidance) and fades to less intrusive levels as the learner gains competence.

Question 5

'Simultaneous prompting' involves:

Accepted Answer

Presenting the SD and the controlling prompt together on every training trial

Answer

Simultaneous prompting delivers the SD and a controlling prompt together on every training trial; separate probe trials assess independent responding.
