Definitions (Week 7)
The process of differentially reinforcing successive approximations to reach a terminal behaviour.
What is shaping?
Romy is teaching her student to say "mama". She starts with "ma" and then moves to "mama". With the new target being "mama", she only reinforcer that target and "ma" is on extinction
What is shaping?
Set of pictures or words that cue a learner to engage in a sequence of activities
What is an activity scheudule?
True or False. When prompting the learner to complete the IAS activity, you should be standing behind the learner.
True.
In the shaping process, responses that meet the predetermined criteria result in reinforcement
What is differential reinforcement?
Sam is teaching her student how to order a drink from Starbucks. To program for generalization, Sam went to Starbucks to make the teaching setting similar to the natural environments.
What is Program common stimuli?
Increases on task behaviour, increase independence , learn to make choices, and increase social interactions
What are the benefits of an IAS?
True or False. When delivering tokens and edibles to the learner, you should include verbal praise.
False. The only verbal is the Sd at the beginning of the chain and at the end when the schedule is complete.
In the shaping process, responses that do not meet the predetermined criteria do not receive reinforcement (which is withheld).
What is extinction?
When teaching his student to say hello, you teach "hello", "hi", "hey".
What is teaching sufficient response exemplars?
Play skills, homework skills, brushing teeth up, and/or social skills
What are examples of an IAS?
True or False. To incorporate choice in the schedule you can get the learner to choose the activities.
True.
Behaviour change that occurs but has not been taught directly
What is generalization?
When teaching the learner to label a toothbrush, the instructor uses 5 different pictures of the target.
What is training sufficient exemplar ?
In an IAS, you collect data on each individual behaviour as it happens.
What is total task presentation?
What are the prompt fading techniques outlined in your textbook?
1. Graduated guidance
2. Spatial Fading
3. Shadowing
4.. Decreasing physical proximity
After intervention is removed, the extent to which the response stays in the clients repertoire over time
What is maintenance?
When you teach Bob to wash his hands at school and they demonstrate the skill in the library bathroom (without training).
What is Setting/situation generalization?
List the four prerequisite skills necessary for the IAS?
1) Identify/attend to pictures vs background
2) Matching identical objects
3) Picture/Object correspondence
4) Accepts manual guidance
List the three error correction responses
Return to previous prompt fading procedure
Close schedule book and begin session again
Start over; return to manual guidance and re-teach entire schedule
