Prompting

 Prompting & transfer of stimulus control


procedures are used to get the correct behavior
to occur at the right time
 Prompts are stimuli given before or during the
performance of a behavior

 Response Prompts
Learner’s behavior is evoked by the behavior of
another person
 Stimulus Prompts
Involve a change in some aspect of
discriminative stimulus that make a correct
discrimination more likely

Stimulus Prompts
 Within-stimulus prompts

 Extra-stimulus prompts
Steps of Prompting
 Choose appropriate prompting strategy
 Get learner’s attention
 Present discriminative stimulus
 Prompt the correct response
 Reinforce the correct response
 Transfer stimulus control
 Reinforce unprompted response
Transfer of stimulus control
 Prompt Fading (least to most and most to least)
 Prompt Delay
 Stimulus Fading
Chaining
 A behavioral chain also called stimulus
response chain. Task analysis identify each
stimulus and response in each component of
the chain.
 Chaining is a method for teaching sequential
skills - skills that require several steps,
accomplished in a set order.
 The chain is broken down into steps, or links,
using task analysis.
Task Analysis
 The process of analyzing the behavioral chain
by breaking it down it into its individual
stimulus response components is called task
analysis.
