Applied behavior analisis
Assignment 1
For this assignment, you will describe how to use prompting and fading effectively in the two scenarios provided below. Be sure to include the answers to the following questions in the descriptions of your prompting and fading procedures.
Questions:
- Decide how you will use prompting and fading to train the behaviors in the scenarios below. Will you use response prompts, stimulus prompts, or both in your prompting procedure for each scenario? (Be sure to state and define the type(s) you will use.)
- Describe the specific prompt you will use at first for each scenario and why (e.g., placing the correct answer nearer to the student so they are more likely to reach for it, moving the child’s hand to complete a response, etc.).
- Describe the procedure you will use to deliver any subsequent prompts needed after the first prompt. State what each prompt will be in the sequence and why you would or wouldn’t have to use it depending on how the child responds to the prior step in the prompting procedure.
- If you are using response prompts, describe whether you are using a most-to-least procedure, graduated guidance, a least-to-most procedure, or a time-delay procedure, and be sure to provide a definition and explanation of the relevant term. If you are using stimulus prompts, then just describe your general fading procedure for the prompts used.
- State the final goal of the prompting and fading procedure in each scenario and how you will know if you have achieved it.
Scenario 1: A teacher is training a kindergarten student how to write the capital letter “B.”
Scenario 2: A parent is teaching a child with disabilities how to place their own food order at the counter of a fast-food restaurant.
