Isolation Distracter Mixed trial
Video modeling is beneficial because_________________
some children with autism already imitate videos and watching videos is often reinforcing.
During episodes of non-compliance, it may be necessary to use which type of prompt?
Physical Right on! During non-compliance you want to to use a prompt that is absolutely going to evoke the response, so a more intrusive prompt, such as a physical prompt, is often necessary.
Task Analysis is the first step in...
chaining A task analysis identifies each step that needs to be taught in a behavior chain.
Discrimination training requires ...
1 response / 2 antecedent
Verbal prompts are some of the __________ prompts to fade.
most difficult Correct! Verbal prompts are very difficult to fade and may produce prompt dependency, when used they should be faded to a less intrusive prompt as soon as possible.
Which type of chaining results in the learner being reinforced after they perform the final step in the chain?
Backwards chaining Well done! In backwards chaining each step is prompted for the learner except the last one and then they contact reinforcement. On the next trial the learner performs the last two, then the last three, and so on...
Johnny is reinforced first for saying ba, then baba, then bottle. This is an example of what procedure?
Shaping
What is the best prompt to use when first teaching imitation?
Physical prompts You want to first prompt your leaner to perform the correct action to make sure they contact the reinforcement.
The purpose of using time delay when prompting is...
to fade prompts and transfer the response to the SD. That's it! Time delay systematically fades prompts by increasing the time between the SD and the prompt.
When teaching new behavior, you should use which type of prompt hierarchy?
Most to least Absolutely! The individual should multiple opportunities to contact reinforcement, so that the task is paired with reinforcement.
A phonemic prompt is...
a small verbal prompt that gets the learner to emit the desired response. A phoneme is the smallest contrastive unit in the sound system of a language.
When creating video-self modeling videos, you______________________.
videotape the student engaging in the desired behavior and edit out any other behaviors. Exactly! This allows the child to see themselves engaged in the target behavior and builds self efficacy.
When teaching Bob to discriminate boys and girls, his teacher used pictures of exaggerated versions of genders (girls had long hair and dresses, boys wore pants, had short hair). Over time, she used less exaggerated features. This an example of what?
Stimulus Fading You got it! Stimulus fading involves highlighting some physical dimension of the stimulus to teach it and fading that exaggeration over time.

What kind of prompt is being used when the teacher flashes the light off then on to get students' attention?

Imitation training can be used to teach students to take cues from...
model prompts. Yes! The learner begins to imitate by watching the instructor model the target behavior.
