Document Summary

Changing the simulus control of a behavior with fading. Fading is the gradual change over successive trails of an antecedent simulus that controls a response so that the response eventually occurs to a parially changed or completely new simulus. In any situaion in which a simulus exerts strong control over a response, fading can be a very useful procedure for transferring the control of that response to some other simulus. Errorless discriminaion training (errorless training): is the use of a fading procedure to establish a simulus discriminaion so that no errors occur. Fading procedures can be used in many learning situaions: script fading procedures have been used to teach children with auism to iniiate interacions with others. Fading can be used to teach tracing, copying, and drawing shapes, numeral, and leters of an alphabet. Dimension: of a simulus is any characterisics that can be measure don some coninuum.
