Prompts
This prompt is where the teacher vocally demonstrate the entire response. Ex. BT: "What do you like to eat? Cookie." Client: "Cookie"
Full Verbal Prompt
A quick informal functional assessment. Can be done by tech. **Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence**.
ABC
A sequence of behaviors that when performed together form a more complex behavior, chaining breaks the complex behavior into smaller units that are taught in sequence.
Chaining
A stimulus that, when presented following a response, increase or maintains the future frequency of that response
Reinforcer
This prompt is where the teacher shows a picture, object or writing that can lead to a response. EX. BT: " How old are you?" **holding a picture of the number 5**. Client: 5.
Visual Prompt
When two or more people take data on the same thing.
IOA (Interobserver Agreement)
Each step is reinforced in natural order. The first step is done independently. EX. Washing hands: teach to turn on faucet, reinforce, then add get soap, reinforce etc.
Forward Chaining
An environmental change that follows a response and increase or maintains the future frequency of that behavior.
Reinforcement
This Prompt is where the teacher gives hand-over-hand assistance to evoke a response.
Full Physical Prompt
Topography, magnitude, celleration, rate/frequency, painting a picture.
Operational Definition
All steps in the chain are prompted except the final behavior, when the learner performs last behavior, they receive reinforcement.
Backward Chain
Stimuli that decrease the occurrence of a behavior.
Punisher
This prompt is where the teacher shows the response so the student can imitate what is shown.
Modeling Prompt
The data taken is accurate, and people agree on it (are you able to repeat it)= repeatability
Reliability
Completing the entire chain and reinforcement is provided at the end. Used mostly when the learner has the prerequisite skills to complete the task and would not require many trials to meet criteria for mastery.
Total Task Chaining
behavior is followed by the removal of a stimulus or condition that decrease future responding for that behavior. (To take something away)
Negative Punishment
This Prompt is where the teacher shows a non-vocal body gesture to evoke the response, such as signing "water" for the client to mand for "water".
Gestural Prompt
Behavior is socially relevant, interventions are appropriate, interventions produce noticeable changes
Validity
Breaking down a complex behavior into teachable parts.
Task Analysis
Behavior is followed by a stimulus that decreases a future responding for that behavior. (To add something in)
Positive Punishment
