DTT & Discrimination Training
This training method involves teaching a client how to differentiate between two or more stimuli by reinforcing behaviors when one stimulus condition is present and not reinforcing them when another is present. What is this training method called?
discrimination training
This systematic process breaks down complex behaviors or tasks into smaller, more manageable steps, detailing each individual step or component required to complete a specific behavior or task.
task analysis
What kind of prompts are there?
Gesture prompt
Proximity prompt
Redundancy prompt
Verbal prompt
Model prompt
Physical
This teaching method involves creating learning opportunities within a person's natural environment, using their interests and surroundings to teach new skills. What is this called?
naturalistic environmental teaching
This term refers to the ability of an individual to demonstrate or apply a learned behavior across various settings, people, or stimuli that were not part of the original learning environment.
This teaching method involves presenting learning trials in quick succession, with a clear beginning and clear end to each trial.
discrete trial training
This teaching technique uses the breakdown provided by task analysis to teach a sequence of behaviors or steps. It involves reinforcing each step of a behavior sequence until the entire task is mastered. What is this technique called?
chaining
This assistance or cue provided through spoken words to guide an individual toward the correct response or behavior is known as:
verbal prompting
This technique used to teach or develop a new behavior by systematically reinforcing successive approximations towards the desired behavior.
shaping
This term refers to the sustained performance of a learned behavior over time after the formal training or intervention has ended.
maintenance
What is an SD?
A discriminative stimulus (SD) is a specific environmental cue or event that signals the availability of reinforcement for a particular behavior. In simpler terms, an SD tells an individual that if they perform a certain action, they will likely receive a desired consequence or reward.
This method involves teaching the steps of a behavior or task in sequential order, starting with the first step. Once the individual masters the first step, the second step is taught, and the process continues until the entire sequence is learned. What chaining procedure is this?
forward chaining
Pointing, nodding or shaking head, hand gestures, and facial expressions are examples of these non-verbal cues used to direct attention, indicate responses, demonstrate actions, and express emotions. What kind of prompt is this?
gesture prompting
An RBT reinforces a child saying 'cuh' for cookie by giving them a cookie. After a number of sessions, the RBT begins to only give the student a cookie when they say 'cook.' This is what teaching strategy?
This type of generalization occurs when a learner demonstrates the same behavior in the presence of different stimuli, such as saying "car" when seeing both a picture of a car and a real car. What kind of generalization is this?
stimulus generalization
What are the three main components of DTT?
SD
Response
Consequence
This chaining method involves teaching the last step of the behavior sequence first. Once the last step is mastered, the second-to-last step is taught, continuing in reverse order until the entire sequence is learned. What chaining procedure is this?
backward chaining
This prompting strategy involves starting with the most intrusive prompt and gradually reducing it as the learner becomes more proficient. What prompt fading strategy is this called?
most-to-least prompting
You are working with a child. The child decides to play with blocks. While playing you start asking the child "what color" is the blocks. This is an example of ____.
NET
This type of generalization occurs when one behavior is taught in the presence of a stimulus, and then a different behavior occurs in the presence of that same stimulus. An example would be teaching a learner to build a castle with Legos, and then the learner builds a house with the same set of Legos. What kind of generalization is this?
response generalization
What is an Stimulus Delta (S△)?
A stimulus in the presence of which a given behavior has not produced reinforcement in the past.
This method teaches all the steps of a behavior or task at once, rather than breaking them into smaller segments. The individual receives guidance and prompts (where needed) for each step until they can complete the entire task independently. What chaining procedure is this?
total task chaining
This prompt is a technique that involves placing an object in a specific position to encourage a person to complete a task or interact with it. What kind of prompt is this?
proximity/positional prompt
What is naturalistic environmental teaching (NET) also known as?
In the classroom, Jerry always listens to his 1:1 RBT. However, he does not listen to the teacher. What needs to be generalized?
Listening to other people
