Mod 4a
A basic teaching unit that has a distinct beginning and end.
What is Discrete Trial Training?
Breaks complex behavior into a series of teachable components
What is a Task Analysis?
Incorporates opportunities provided in the natural environment to teach language and play skills
What is Incidental Teaching?
1. The ability to understand language (Listening and reading skills)
2. The ability to communicate (Speaking, writing, PECS, etc)
1.Receptive language skills
2.Expressive language skills
The extent to which a learner continues to perform the target behavior after a portion or all of the intervention responsible for the behavior's initial appearance in the learner’s repertoire has been terminated.
What is Maintenance?
The most common graph RBTs will utilize.
What is the line graph?
Reinforcing successive approximations to a terminal response
What is Shaping?
Behavior that involves social interaction between a speaker and a listener.
What is verbal behavior?
The 4 verbal operants.
What are Mand, Tact, Echoic, and Intraverbal
Continuing to perform a mastered target behavior after the intervention has been terminated, setting has been altered, and with other people so that they emit untrained responses that are equivalent to the original target behavior.
What is Generalization?
The Types of Discrete Trial Teaching methods
What are Mass Trial, Distributed Trial, and Interspersed Trial
Teaching the first step until mastery and then the second task, etc. until all steps are taught.
What is a Forward Chain?
The non-verbal operants
Listener Responding, Motor Imitation, and Matching to Sample
The first type of verbal behavior acquired by individuals
What is the Mand
3 ways to help teach Generalization.
What are Multiple Exemplar Training, Teach Across Different People, and teaching Across Settings.
The steps to a discrete trial
•Gain Attention
•Provide SD
•Insert Prompt
•Individual Response
•Error Correction/Reinforcement
Teaching the last step until mastery, and then the second to last task, etc. until all steps are taught. The first step is taught last.
What is a Backwards Chain?
A label for, or identifying something.
What is a tact?
When there is a repeating of something someone has said.
What is an echoic?
When a response has been reinforced, and behavior occurs consistently and reliably in its presence.
What is Stimulus Control?
A method of training behavior that involves presenting 2 or more antecedent stimuli, but only providing reinforcement in the presence of 1 of them.
What is discrimination training?
All steps are taught and presented each trial. Staff provide physical prompts with any step that the individual is unable to perform independently
What is Total Task Chaining?
Answering questions, responding to conversations, or fill in the blank.
What is an intraverbal?
These skills may not emerge in a developmental order.
What are play skills?
This occurs through the use of fading stimulus and response prompts.
What is Transfer of Stimulus Control?
