Document Summary
Chapter 10: prompting and transfer of stimulus control. Fading: one way to transfer stimulus control from prompts to s^d: remove prompts so behaviour is under stimulus control of the s^d. Goal of prompting and fading is to engage in correct behaviour without prompts. Ultimately, s^d must have stimulus control over behaviour. Prompting gets correct behaviour to offer, fading transfers stimulus control to natural s^d. Types of prompts: response prompts: the behaviour of another person evokes correct response. Physical prompts: stimulus prompts: change in some aspect of the s^d or s-delta or the addition or removal of another stimulus makes a correct response more likely. Transfer of stimulus control: transfer stimulus control to natural s^d so prompts no longer used: prompt fading: the response prompt is eliminated gradually. Least-to-most prompting (provides least intrusive prompt first and uses more intrusive prompts only as necessary to get correct behaviour to occur.
