GRADED A+
⫸ Discrimination Training. Answer: The process of reinforcing a target
response only when the target antecedent or SD is present. Teaching the
client to "tell the difference between two or more SDs."
Examples: Teaching the child to be able to tell the difference between
their mom and dad in pictures with saying "Touch mom" or "Touch dad"
and the child responds correctly. When holding up an apple teaching the
child to answer the different questions of "What is it?" "What do you do
with it?" and "What color is it?" using only the apple as the stimulus.
⫸ Simultaneous Discrimination Training. Answer: When multiple
objects are placed in front of the child and they are asked to touch, point
or pick up the item.
- This type has a visual field and most likely involves using a table and
chair or sitting on the floor
- Uses 7 step and the 4 step sequence of teaching (refer to initial training
notes)
- Examples of SDs that use this method: "Touch (color)", "Give me the
(object)" "Point to the (item)"
,⫸ Successive Discrimination Training. Answer: When the target and the
distractors cannot be presented simultaneously. The target and the
distractor occur across successive trials
- This type has NO visual field of stimuli.
- Uses 3 step and the 2 step sequence of teaching (refer to initial training
notes)
- Examples of SDs that use this method: Telling the client to do an
action like "Jump." (They cant do anything else at the same time)
Asking the client a question like "What is your name?" (They cannot
answer anything else at the same time)
⫸ Expanded trials. Answer: Systematically increasing the time in
between presentation of the target Sd by gradually increasing the
number of trials of previously mastered targets. The formula is as
follows: TXdTXdTXdTXd, TXddTXddTXddTX,
TXdddTXdddTXdddTX
Example: Target item: shoe Mastered items: cup and dog
For the TX above insert "shoe" for the d above insert "cup" or "dog"
⫸ Graduate Random Rotation. Answer: Systematically introducing
mastered items (one at a time) into random rotation with the target item.
The formula is as follows: RR1: RR TX with 1 previously mastered, RR
, 2: RR TX with 2 previously mastered items, RR 3: RR with 3 previously
mastered items
- Example: Target item: shoe Previously mastered items: cup, diaper and
dog
For the TX above insert "shoe" for previously mastered items above
insert "cup" "diaper" or "dog"
⫸ Discrete Trial Training (DTT). Answer: A specific method of
teaching in which a task is isolated and taught across multiple trials. A
specific opportunity is presented and a specific response from the learner
is expected. A consequence follow the learner's response.
DTT is used because it allows:
- for repetition
- the learner to know what is expected
- the learner access to reinforcement
- for easy data collection
⫸ Natural Environment Training (NET). Answer: Explanation: NET
describes teaching procedures that can be used to teach clients diagnosed
with autism in their natural environment. It involves situations and items
that the client would be already be interacting with to teach relevant
skills. Motivation is capitalized on during NET. Child directed learning.
