Hand over hand assistance to evoke a response.

What is a Full Physical Prompt?

100

What is High Probability Request ?

100
  • A person engages in the behavior to get a reaction from others, such as to be looked at played with, or hugged.

What is Attention Based ?

100

Where the teacher vocally demonstrates the entire response.

What is Direct Verbal Response ?

100
  • A procedure that increases the occurrence of a target behavior by providing motivating stimulus as a consequence.

What is Positive Reinforcement ?

Where the teacher gives a verbal que that could lead to the response, such as “What’s next?” or “What do you do now?”

What is Indirect Verbal Prompt ?

200

- It is used to control a subjects behavior by placing a high probability behavior (a reinforcing activity) after a low probability behavior ( an activity that the subject  may not enjoy).

What is Premack Principle ?

200

What Is Sensory Based ?

200
  • A method of breaking one task into multiple steps and focusing on each step before chaining them together.

What is Chaining ?

200
  • A method of gradually changing a behavior to a desired target behavior. When shaping is used you systematically reinforce a behavior that is closer to the target behavior and the previously reinforced behaviors will no longer produce reinforcement.
What is Shaping ?
300
  • Where the teacher vocally demonstrates a part of the response.

What is Partial Verbal Prompt ?

300
  • Is a procedure that physically prevents a target behavior to be completed. For example, if a child tends to pick their nose, an adult applies response blocking by putting their hand in front of his nose when he is about to pick his nose so he cannot complete his behavior.

What is Backwards Chaining ?

400

Where the teacher shows the response so the student can imitate what is shown

What is Modeling Prompt ?

400
  • A way that one is taught to communicate their wants and needs instead of engaging in inappropriate behavior.

What is Functional Communication Training ?

400

The child stands in a chair saying look at me im standing in a chair and there is nothing you can do about it ?

What is Within Stimulus Prompt?

500
  • Where the teacher moves a stimulus closer to the student to evoke the response.

What is Positional Prompt?

What is Non-Contingent Reinforcement ?
