Prompting
Hierarchy
Hierarchy
What is the least intrusive prompt?
What is independent/ No Prompt
You present the SD, the client waits, and you use a gestural prompt. They respond correctly. How would you mark this on your data sheet?
What is prompted (P)
You follow the clients lead, joining their play with no demands. What type of interaction is this?
What is pairing?
You run 10 trials. The client completes 7 independently, 2 prompted, and 1 trial is not run. What is the correct independent percentage?
What is 7/9=77%
What is the main point of error correction in DTT?
What is to prevent learning incorrect responses and immediately guide the client to the correct one.
Give an example of a gestural prompt.
What is pointing to the correct choice
You run a trial , but the client gets distracted and leaves before responding. How would you score this?
What is no Response (N)
You enter a session and immediately start giving demands, but the client begins to play with a toy and laughs while you join in. Is this pairing and why?
What is no- pairing requires first building a positive association without placing demands
You ran 12 trials, But 3 of them were error correction trials after mistakes. The client was independent on 6, prompted on 2, and incorrect on 4. Do you include the error correction trials in the percentage?
What is no. Only the original trials count toward data. Independent = 6/12=50%
A client answers incorrectly. You immediately provide the correct prompt and then run the trial again. What kind of trial is the “run again”
What is transfer trial
Name all prompt types from most to least intrusive. (MTL)
What is Full physical —> Partial physical —> Model —> Gestural —> Verbal —> Independent
You point at the sink and say “wash your hands” and the client does it after 2 seconds. How would you mark this on your data sheet?
What is prompted (P)
During pairing, you start asking the client questions like “what’s your favorite color?” on their first day. Is this allowed?
What is no? Asking questions is a demand and not allowed during initial pairing.
You run 12 trials over a session. The client is independent 6 trials, prompted on 3, and gives no response on 3. What is the independent percentage?
What is 6/12=50%
During a receptive ID goal, you ask, “Touch car.” The client touches “dog.” You then physically prompt them to touch the car, then immediately present “Touch car” again and they get it right. What do you record for the first trial?
What is prompted, the correction doesn’t erase the mistake
What does ”time delay” mean in prompting?
What is waiting before giving a prompt to allow for independent response
You show a flashcard, the client answers incorrectly, you use error correction, and they answer correctly on the transfer trial without a prompt. How would you mark this on your data sheet?
What is prompted (P) for the initial trial and Independent (I) for the transfer trial
You offer the client their favorite snack every time the complete a task, but they haven’t had any free play yet. Is this effective pairing?
What is no? Pairing is about creating positive interactions prior to placing demands, not only as reinforcements after tasks.
How do you calculate a rate?
What is rate = #of responses / time observed
Why do we include a distractor trial after a transfer trial during error correction?
What is to ensure the client can demonstrate the correct response in a different context and isn’t just memorizing from the correction.
Why is prompt fading important?
What is to avoid prompt dependence and encourage independence
You present the SD, the client answers incorrectly. You give a partial physical prompt, and they immediately give the correct response. Later in the session, you re-present the same SD with no prompt, and they answer correctly. How do you mark this on your data sheet?
What is prompted (P) for the first trial and what is Independent (I) for the transfer trial
You are pairing with a new client. They are playing with blocks and occasionally stacking them in unusual ways. You notice the client seems frustrated when a block falls, so you take the block and stack it yourself to show them “the right way.” You also occasionally ask them questions like “Why did you do that?” and “Do you want to try it differently?” Which parts of your interaction break proper pairing/ client-led play principles?
What is, taking the block and stacking it yourself: This directs play, which goes against following the child’s lead.
What is, asking questions about their play: Questions create demands, even if meant to engage, which is not allowed in initial pairing.
Across a session you ran 15 trials, 7 independent, 3 prompted, 2 incorrect, 2 no responses, 1 trial was not ran due to time. What is the client’s independent percentage?
What is 50%
You say “Touch red,” and the client touches blue. You immediately prompt them to touch red. On the original trial, how do you score it?
What is prompted (P), because a prompt was needed after the error.
