Question 1

Fading involves the abrupt removal of a prompt after the learner starts to make the correct response.​

Accepted Answer

Fading involves gradually removing a prompt as the learner becomes more proficient in the skill, rather than abruptly removing it.

Question 2

In the prompt delay procedure,you provide the prompt,wait 4 seconds and then present the S^D.

Accepted Answer

In the prompt delay procedure, the prompt is provided after waiting for a specified period (e.g., 4 seconds) if the learner does not initiate the correct response on their own, not before the delay.

Question 3

The procedures of prompting and fading are used to:​
A) ​develop stimulus control
B) ​get existing behavior to occur at the correct time
C) develop new behaviors​
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

Prompting and fading techniques can be used to develop stimulus control by prompting the desired behavior and gradually fading the prompts until the behavior occurs in the appropriate context. They can also be used to get existing behavior to occur at the correct time, as well as to develop new behaviors by gradually shaping the desired behavior through prompts and feedback. Therefore, the correct option is D, all of these.

Question 4

Prompting and transfer of stimulus control is used by:​
A) ​coaches
B) ​teachers
C) ​parents
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

Prompting and transfer of stimulus control can be used by coaches, teachers, and parents to help individuals acquire new skills and behaviors. Therefore, all of the choices are correct.

Question 5

Teaching is complete when prompts are no longer being used to get the behavior to occur.​

Accepted Answer

When a behavior is consistently occurring without the need for prompts or reminders, it can be considered mastered or complete. However, it is important to note that occasional reminders or prompts may still be necessary in some situations or for some individuals.

Question 6

When using prompting and transfer of stimulus control,the use of ____________ gets the correct behavior to occur,and the use of ____________ transfers stimulus control to the natural discriminative stimulus.​
A) ​fading ;prompting
B) ​reinforcement ;extinction
C) ​prompting ;fading
D) ​reinforcement ;punishment

Accepted Answer

When using prompting, it helps to elicit the correct behavior. However, we want the behavior to ultimately occur in the presence of the natural discriminative stimulus, so we use fading to transfer the stimulus control to the natural discriminative stimulus. Therefore, the correct answer is C: prompting and fading.

Question 7

If a person who used to engage in a behavior now refuses to,prompting and transfer of stimulus control is an appropriate procedure to get the person to engage in the behavior.​

Accepted Answer

The answer of If a person who used to engage...

Question 8

Which of the following is a major category of prompts?​
A) ​response
B) ​stimulus
C) ​behavioral
D) ​A and B

Accepted Answer

Major categories of prompts include response and stimulus prompts. Response prompts directly guide the answer, while stimulus prompts modify what the person sees or hears to guide the response.

Question 9

Which of the following is (are)necessary for prompting and transfer of stimulus control to be considered complete?​
A) ​prompts have been completely removed
B) ​behavior is under control of the natural discriminative stimulus
C) ​behavior consistently occurs when the prompt is presented
D) ​A and B

Accepted Answer

Prompts need to be completely removed and behavior needs to be under the control of the natural discriminative stimulus for prompting and transfer of stimulus control to be considered complete. Therefore, both A and B are necessary for this process to be complete. Additionally, if behavior consistently occurs when the prompt is presented, this can indicate that prompting is working effectively, but it alone is not sufficient for transfer of stimulus control to be complete.

Question 10

The learning trial always starts with the presentation of the discriminative stimulus.​

Accepted Answer

The presentation of the discriminative stimulus is a key element in the beginning of the learning trial in a classical or operant conditioning experiment.

Question 11

A teacher used prompting in order to get a student to pronounce written words correctly.When the student begins pronouncing the words correctly just by seeing them,the teacher begins to remove the prompts.The gradual removal of prompts while the behavior is occurring in the presence of the discriminative stimulus is called:​
A) ​prompt withdrawal
B) ​shaping
C) ​fading
D) ​reduction

Accepted Answer

Fading is the gradual removal of prompts while the behavior is occurring in the presence of the discriminative stimulus. In this scenario, the teacher used prompting to help the student pronounce written words correctly. As the student began to correctly pronounce the words just by seeing them, the teacher started to remove the prompts gradually. This is an example of fading. Option A (prompt withdrawal) is incorrect as it suggests abrupt cessation of prompts, which is not the case in this scenario. Option B (shaping) is incorrect as it involves reinforcing successive approximations of a behavior to gradually shape it towards the final desired behavior, which is not the case in this scenario. Option D (reduction) is incorrect as it is not a commonly used term in behavior analysis and does not accurately describe the process of fading.

Question 12

Ultimately,the discriminative stimulus must have stimulus control over the behavior.​

Accepted Answer

Stimulus control refers to the ability of a stimulus to elicit or suppress a behavior. For a discriminative stimulus to be effective, it must have stimulus control over the behavior, meaning that the behavior only occurs in the presence of that specific stimulus. Therefore, the statement is true.

Question 13

Matt's Dad is teaching him to shoot a basketball.His Dad takes the ball and demonstrates to Matt how to shoot it through the hoop.The use of antecedent stimuli by his Dad in order to get Matt to engage in the right behavior at the right time is called:​
A) ​fading
B) ​prompting
C) ​shaping
D) ​stimulus control

Accepted Answer

Prompting involves the use of antecedent stimuli to get an individual to engage in the desired behavior. In this case, Matt's Dad is using prompting to teach him how to shoot a basketball. Fading involves gradually removing prompts as the individual becomes more proficient, shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations to the desired behavior, and stimulus control involves modifying environmental factors to influence behavior.

Question 14

Verbal,gestural,modeling and physical prompts are stimulus prompts.​

Accepted Answer

Verbal, gestural, modeling, and physical prompts are response prompts, not stimulus prompts.

Question 15

When the behavior of one individual leads to the desired behavior of another individual in the presence of the discriminative stimulus it is called a ____________ prompt.​
A) ​antecedent
B) ​stimulus
C) ​behavioral
D) ​response

Accepted Answer

A response prompt occurs when the behavior of one individual prompts the desired behavior of another individual in the presence of a discriminative stimulus.

Question 16

In order for prompting and fading to lead to stimulus control,the prompts must be presented in the presence of:​
A) ​the target behavior
B) ​the discriminative stimulus
C) ​the S-delta
D) ​the reinforcer

Accepted Answer

Prompting and fading are used to transfer control of a behavior from a prompt or hint to the discriminative stimulus that sets the occasion for the behavior. Therefore, the prompts must be presented in the presence of the discriminative stimulus to lead to stimulus control. Option A (the target behavior) is not necessarily the correct answer because the target behavior is what we want to happen, but prompting and fading are used to develop or improve the behavior. Option C (the S-delta) is the opposite of the discriminative stimulus and signals that reinforcement will not be available for the behavior, so it would not be appropriate to present prompts in the presence of the S-delta. Option D (the reinforcer) is also not the correct answer because the reinforcer follows the behavior, not the prompt or the discriminative stimulus.

Question 17

Prompts are used to get the correct behavior to occur so it can be reinforced.​

Accepted Answer

Prompts are used to help an individual learn a new behavior or skill by providing a cue or reminder to perform the desired behavior. Once the behavior is performed correctly, reinforcement can follow, which increases the likelihood of the behavior occurring again in the future.

Question 18

Prompt delay is the most commonly used method of transferring stimulus control.​

Accepted Answer

Prompt delay is one method of transferring stimulus control, but not necessarily the most commonly used one. Other methods, such as fading and shaping, are also frequently used depending on the context and the learner's needs.

Question 19

Response prompts are intrusive.​

Accepted Answer

Response prompts can be perceived as intrusive as they interrupt the flow of conversation and may not align with the speaker's intended message.

Question 20

A change in a stimulus or the addition of a stimulus in order to get the behavior to occur is called a ____________ prompt.​
A) ​behavioral
B) ​stimulus
C) ​response
D) ​antecedent

Accepted Answer

A stimulus prompt involves changing a stimulus or adding a new stimulus to make a desired behavior more likely to occur. This can include altering the environment or the way instructions are given to prompt the correct response.
