Changing the control of a behavior with fading4/18/2013 2:50:00 pm. Fading: the gradual change over successive trials of an antecedent stimulus that controls a response to that the response occurs to a partially changed or completely new stimulus. Involved in everyday situations where one person teaches a behavior to another. Any situation where a stimulus exerts strong control over a response, fading can be a useful procedure for transferring the control of that response to some other stimulus. Fading procedures are used in many learning situations in programs with persons with developmental disabilities including autism and very young children. Errorless discrimination training (errorless learning): use of a fading procedure to establish a stimulus discrimination so that no errors occur. If an error occurs once, it tends to occur many times, even if it is being extinguished. The nonreinforement that occurs when errors are being extinguished often produces emotional side effects.
