Psychology ABA 505- Assignment 1

505 Assignment 1

1) Decide how you will use prompting and fading to train the behaviors in the scenarios below. Will you use response prompts, stimulus

prompts, or both in your prompting procedure for each scenario? (Be sure to state and define the type(s) you will use.)

2) Describe the specific prompt you will use at first for each scenario and why (e.g., placing the correct answer nearer to the student so they are

more likely to reach for it, moving the child’s hand to complete a response, etc.).

3) Describe the procedure you will use to deliver any subsequent prompts needed after the first prompt. State what each prompt will be in the

sequence and why you would or wouldn’t have to use it depending on how the child responds to the prior step in the prompting procedure.

4) If you are using response prompts, describe whether you are using a most-to-least procedure, graduated guidance, a least-to-most procedure,

or a time-delay procedure, and be sure to provide a definition and explanation of the relevant term. If you are using stimulus prompts, then

just describe your general fading procedure for the prompts used.

5) State the final goal of the prompting and fading procedure in each scenario and how you will know if you have achieved it.
