Question 1

You are using a computer program to help study for your behavior modification exam.The program has flash cards with a term and its definition.When the term is shown,you click the button to see the definition.This allows you to say the correct definition of the term.Each time you click the button to see the definition,the program shows you less and less of the definition.Eventually you have to define the term without seeing any of the definition.This is an example of:

A)prompting
B)stimulus fading
C)prompt delay
D)all of these

B

Accepted Answer

This scenario describes the use of stimulus fading, where the program gradually reduces the amount of information provided until the individual is able to recall and define the term without any prompts or cues. Prompting involves providing additional cues or assistance to help the individual respond correctly, whereas prompt delay involves introducing a short delay before providing a prompt or cue.

Question 2

In which procedure do you present the S^D,wait a certain number of seconds,and then present the prompt if the correct response is not made? A)prompting B)fading C)prompt delay D)all of these

Accepted Answer

This procedure is known as prompt delay, where the initial prompt (S^D) is presented, and if the correct response is not made within a certain amount of time (wait), then the prompt is repeated or presented again (prompt delay). Fading and prompting are different procedures altogether.

Question 3

Two types of stimulus prompts are:&#10;A)verbal and gestural&#10;B)modeling and physical&#10;C)within stimulus and gestural&#10;D)within-stimulus and extrastimulus

Accepted Answer

Within-stimulus prompts involve adding a hint or cue within the task or activity itself, while extrastimulus prompts involve adding a hint or cue outside of the task or activity. Therefore, D is the correct answer that distinguishes between these two types of prompts. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the two types of stimulus prompts.

Question 4

An instructor puts her hands over the student's hands to help the student mold the clay as the clay is spinning on the wheel during a pottery class.What type of prompt is the instructor using?&#10;A)verbal&#10;B)gestural&#10;C)modeling&#10;D)physical

Accepted Answer

The instructor is using physical prompting as she is physically touching the student's hands to guide them in molding the clay.

Question 5

What is the gradual elimination of a prompt as the behavior continues to occur in the presence of the S^D? A)prompting B)fading C)prompt delay D)all of these

Accepted Answer

Fading is the gradual elimination of a prompt as the behavior continues to occur in the presence of the discriminative stimulus (SD) and eventually in the absence of the prompt. Prompting refers to the use of additional cues or instructions to evoke a specific behavior. Prompt delay is a type of prompting technique where a short delay is introduced between the presentation of the SD and the prompt. Therefore, choice B, fading, is the best answer.

Question 6

Verbal,gestural,modeling,and physical are types of ________________.&#10;A)stimulus prompts&#10;B)response prompts&#10;C)stimulus control&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

Verbal, gestural, modeling, and physical are types of response prompts, which are used to guide or elicit a correct response from a learner.

Question 7

________________ is a method of transferring stimulus control.&#10;A)prompt fading&#10;B)prompt delay&#10;C)stimulus fading&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

All three options, prompt fading, prompt delay, and stimulus fading, are methods of transferring stimulus control during a behavior intervention. Prompt fading involves gradually reducing the intensity or frequency of prompts given to the individual to promote independent responding. Prompt delay involves introducing a delay before providing a prompt to encourage the individual to initiate the response independently. Stimulus fading involves gradually reducing the salience or distinctiveness of a cue or prompt to promote responding to the target stimulus. Therefore, all of these methods can be used to gradually transfer stimulus control from the prompt or cue to the target stimulus itself.

Question 8

In which procedure do you gradually remove the stimulus prompt as the correct behavior occurs in the presence of the S^D? A)prompting B)stimulus fading C)prompt delay D)all of these

Accepted Answer

Stimulus fading is the procedure in which the stimulus prompt is gradually removed as the correct behavior occurs in the presence of the S^D. Prompting involves the use of additional cues to help the learner exhibit the correct behavior, and prompt delay is a procedure in which a delay is introduced between the instruction or cue and the prompt. Therefore, the correct answer is B - stimulus fading.
