ABAT Skill Acquisition Programming 2

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Physical prompt

Answer

A physical prompt involves hand-over-hand or other physical contact to guide the learner through the target response.

Question 2

In errorless learning, prompts are provided at what point relative to the learner's response opportunity?

Accepted Answer

Before the learner has a chance to respond incorrectly

Answer

Errorless learning delivers prompts immediately with the SD to prevent the learner from making errors before prompts are given.

Question 3

Which prompt fading strategy reduces prompt intrusiveness from most to least over successive trials?

Accepted Answer

Most-to-least prompt fading

Answer

Most-to-least fading begins with the most intrusive prompt and systematically reduces prompt level as the learner demonstrates competence.

Question 4

Progressive time delay differs from constant time delay in that it:

Accepted Answer

Increases the delay in fixed increments across sessions

Answer

Progressive time delay starts with a 0-second delay and incrementally increases (e.g., by 1–2 seconds) until the learner responds independently before the prompt.

Question 5

What is the primary goal of stimulus control transfer in skill acquisition?

Accepted Answer

Shifting stimulus control from a prompt to the natural discriminative stimulus

Answer

Stimulus control transfer procedures fade artificial prompts so the natural SD — not the prompt — evokes the target behavior.
