Learner Levels & Teaching
Teaching occurs during a motivating tasks to teach new targets, lead by the learner, session structure is loose and used to generalize skills taught in ITT.
What is NET?
The process of differential reinforcing successive approximations to reach terminal goal
What is shaping?
What are ADLs?
A set of pictures of words that cue a learner to engage in a sequence of activities.
What is an activity schedule?
1. Deliver edibles from behind
2. Tokens from behind or incorporated into the board
3. Visible delivery of token
What is an early learner?
The process of breaking down a complex skill into teachable units.
What is a TA?
ADLs necessary to live independently in the community (i.e. housework, making money).
What are instrumental ADLs?
1) Teaching a variety of functional skills
2) Teaching independence
3)Incorporating Choice
4) Social interactions
What are the benefits of an IAS?
1) return to previous prompt fading procedure
2) Close schedule book and begin session again (with better prompt)
3) Start over; return to manual guidance and re-test entire schedule
What is suggested error correction procedure?
Early learner teaching occurs almost 100% in this enviornment.
What is NET?
A specific sequence of behaviours that lead to R+.
What is a behaviour chain?
Requiring a non-preferred activity to be completed before allowing access to preferred activity.
What is premack principle?
1. Identifying pictures vs background
2. Matching identical objects
3. Picture/object correspondence
4. Accepts manual guidance
What are the pre-requisite skills?
1) Graduated Guidance
2) Shadowing
3) Decreasing physical proximity
What are the suggested prompt-fading procedures?
A profile with skills in tact, IV, receptive and common deficit areas in complex manding skills (missing items, attention, information, etc)
What is an intermediate learner?
1) Reinforcing the previous behavior
2) Providing the Sd for the next behaviour
What are the purposes of a response in a behavior chain?
2) Learner stay in bed during the evening
What are the goals to sleep training?
1) Based on goals of the schedule
2) Mastered for faster rate of acquisition
3) Close ended. Open ended uses a timer
What are the suggestions for selecting activities?
1) Choosing reinforcers
2) Choosing activities
2) Sequence of activities
What are ways to include choice in an activity schedule?
A profile with a strong mand repertoire and deficit areas are advanced IV and conversation skills. Teaching mainly occurs in the NET.
What is an advanced learner?
Teaching the last step of the sequence first and then moving backwards through the sequence with the learner performing the last step independently.
What is backwards chaining?
1) Consistent bedtime routine
2) Say goodnight
3) When child gets out of bed, not not engage and bring back to bed
What are the steps to sleep training?
What is suggested prompting location?
Collecting data on every single time you teach the IAS schedule
What is trial by trial data?
