Task List Section : C

Any type of prompt in which we change the materials in a way that helps the learner give the correct response.

• Shaping

• Stimulus Prompts

• Modeling

• Response Prompts

Usually done in a most to least fashion. Begin with the most intrusive prompt, and work toward little to no prompting.

• Prompt Delay

• Stimulus Prompts

• Task Analysis

• Prompt Fading

Begins with errorless teaching, and as you fade this level of prompting, you insert a time delay.

• Imitation Training

• Prompt Delay

• Shaping

• Backward Chaining

Verbal or physical guidance, or modeling, that assists a learner to evoke a correct response.

• Response Prompts

• Shaping

• Modeling

• Imitation Training

Breaking complex skills into smaller, teachable units creating sequential steps.

• Forward Chaining

• Modeling

• Task Analysis

• Backward Chaining

Isolating and teaching only the first step of a task, then the second step, then the third, etc.

• Backward Chaining

• Shaping

• Imitation Training

• Forward Chaining

Model or complete an entire task until the last step. Teach the learner to complete the last step of the task. Then, move on to the second-to-last step, etc.

• Backward Chaining

• Imitation Training

• Forward Chaining

• Shaping

Teaching a new behavior gradually by rewarding behaviors that progressively come close to the target behavior.

• Stimulus Prompts

• Prompt Delay

• Prompt Fading

• Shaping

Showing the ideal behavior to a learner as a response prompt.

• Imitation Training

• Modeling

• Prompt Delay

• Task Analysis

Teaching skills through copying others’ behaviors.
