Response-prompting procedures
open-in-new
<p>Response-prompting procedures are systematic strategies used to increase the probability of correct responding and opportunities for positive <a href="/facts/Reinforcement/bn271VLa">reinforcement</a> for learners by providing and then systematically removing prompts. Response prompting is sometimes called <a href="/facts/Errorless_learning/ogSJEfNh">errorless learning</a> because teaching using these procedures usually results in few <a href="/facts/Error/20QgR4EI">errors</a> by the learner. The goal of response prompting is to transfer <a href="/facts/Stimulus_control/SrFGBFMw">stimulus control</a> from the prompt to the desired discriminative stimulus. Several response prompting procedures are commonly used in <a href="/facts/Special_education/NfT0NmjS">special education</a> research: (a) system of least prompts, (b) most to least prompting, (c) progressive and constant time delay, and (d) simultaneous prompting. </p>
