Discrete-Trials Teaching

This document discusses strategies for fading prompts in discrete trial teaching (DTT) with children with autism. It describes the most-to-least prompt fading method, where prompts are gradually reduced in intensity across trials, starting with the fullest prompt needed and fading to lesser prompts and then no prompt. It also describes a prompt-delay fading procedure where the timing of delivering the prompt is gradually increased across trials.

Prompting!is!a!useful!teaching!technique!to!increase!the!likelihood!of!correct!responses!by!a!
learner.! However,! in! everyday! life,! we! are! likely! to! be! asked! to! do! things! without! receiving!
prompts.! If! a! child! can! only! respond! when! prompts! are! provided,! the! child! is! said! to! be! prompt!
dependent.!Therefore!an!important!goal!of!teaching!is!that!students!learn!to!respond!appropriately!
to! a! variety! of! antecedents! without! accompanying! prompts.! In! this! chapter,! we! introduce! you! to!
four!strategies!for!fading!out!prompts.!Before!studying!this!chapter,!we!encourage!you!to!review!
the!description!of!fading!on!in!Chapter!2.!!

MOST/TO/LEAST'PROMPT'FADING'
A! common! strategy! for! gradually! removing! prompts! is! to! begin! with! whatever! prompt! is!
necessary!to!evoke!a!correct!response,!and!then,!across!trials,!gradually!remove!that!prompt.!This!
method!of!removing!prompts!is!called!MostJtoJLeast!fading.!It!is!also!sometimes!referred!to!as!the!
Decreasing!Assistance!method.!MostJtoJleast!fading!can!be!done!with!any!of!the!different!types!of!
prompts.!Suppose,!for!example,!that!a!teacher!decides!to!teach!a!child!to!imitate!simple!actions.!
The! teacher! might! tap! her! left! hand! on! the! table! and! say,! “Do! this,”! and! then! provide! complete!
physical!guidance!for!the!student!to!tap!the!table.!The!child!would!be!reinforced!for!doing!so.!The!
complete! physical! guidance! is! referred! to! as! a! full! physical! prompt,! indicating! that! the! entire!
response!was!prompted.!On!the!next!trial,!the!teacher!taps!her!left!hand!on!the!table!and!says,!“Do!
this,”!and!then!gently!uses!her!forefinger!and!thumb!to!lightly!touch!the!child’s!left!hand!to!imitate!
the! response.! Again,! the! imitation! would! be! reinforced.! ! The! teacher! touching! the! child! with! her!
finger! and! thumb! only! is! a! partial! physical! prompt.! After! a! couple! more! successful! trials,! the!
physical! prompting! would! be! completely! faded! to! the! point! where! the! child! would! respond!
correctly!to!the!antecedents!of!the!teacher!tapping!her!left!hand!on!the!table!and!saying,!“Do!this,”!
while!providing!a!gestural!prompt!of!pointing!to!the!child’s!left!hand.!After!a!couple!of!successful!
trials! the! teacher! might! eliminate! all! prompts! and! simply! tap! her! left! hand! on! the! table! and! say,!
“Do! this.”! Hopefully! the! child! would! respond! successfully.! In! this! example,! you! can! see! that!
prompts! were! faded! from! a! complete! physical! prompt! to! a! partial! physical! prompt! to! a! gestural!
prompt!and!to!no!prompt.!!
Now! let’s! consider! mostJtoJlest! fading! with! vocal! prompting.! Consider! the! example! of!
teaching!Grace!to!label!family!pictures.!On!the!first!trial,!suppose!that!the!teacher!showed!a!picture!
of! Grace’s! Mom! and! asked! the! question! “Who! is! this?”! and! added! a! full! vocal! prompt,! “Mom”.!
Assuming! that! Grace! correctly! said! “Mom”,! the! vocal! prompt! might! be! faded! out! on! following!
teaching!trials!so!that!the!teacher’s!prompt,!“Mom”,!would!be!faded!to!the!partial!vocal!prompt!of!
“mmm,”! then! to! “m,”! and! then! the! teacher! would! just! put! her! lips! together,! “m”! (a! modeling!
prompt),!to!no!prompt.!Finally,!when!the!teacher!asked,!“Who!is!this?”!Grace!was!able!to!correctly!
answer,! “Mom.”! In! this! example,! you! can! see! that! prompts! were! faded! from! a! full! vocal! prompt!
(“Mom”)!to!a!partial!vocal!prompt!(“mmm”)!to!a!lesser!partial!vocal!prompt!(“m”)!to!a!modeling!
prompt!(teacher!putting!her!lips!together)!to!no!prompt.!!
The! word! “intrusive”! is! often! used! to! describe! the! amount! of! prompting! that! is! given! on! a!
trial.!Complete!physical!guidance!would!be!a!mostJintrusive!prompt,!while!a!light!touch!would!be!a!

lessJintrusive!prompt.!The!decision!to!provide!a!lessJintrusive!prompt!on!a!trial!should!be!based!on!
the! child! responding! correctly! to! a! moreJintrusive! prompt! on! the! previous! trial.! At! each! step! in!
mostJtoJleast! fading,! you! should! use! the! least! intrusive! prompt! necessary! to! ensure! a! correct!
response.!!
In! mostJtoJleast! prompt! fading! the! fading! steps! are! often! preJdetermined! and! criteria! are!
often!preJestablished!for!how!many!times!each!step!is!to!be!presented!before!progressing!to!the!

PROMPT/DELAY'FADING'PROCEDURE'
This! procedure! involves! a! gradual! increase! in! the! timing! of! the! delivery! of! the! prompt.! You!
must!first!determine!the!level!of!prompting!necessary!to!evoke!the!desired!behavior!from!the!child.!
Then,! during! the! first! few! trials,! you! provide! the! necessary! prompt! immediately! following! the!
instruction!and!the!other!antecedents!(such!as!handing!the!child!a!picture!to!match!in!a!matching!
task).! Then,! over! trials,! you! gradually! delay! the! prompt! so! that! the! child! has! an! opportunity! to!
respond! to! the! instruction! and! the! other! antecedents! without! being! prompted! to! do! so.! This!
method!for!fading!out!prompts!is!sometimes!referred!to!as!the!TimeJDelay!method.!!
In!ABA!training!programs!for!children!with!autism,!it!is!often!the!case!that!several!tutors!and!

would!be!reinforced.!

would!use!a!promptJdelay!of!two!seconds.!That!is,!the!teacher!would!say,!“Match,”!give!a!picture!
to!the!child!(e.g.,!picture!of!a!tree),!wait!two!seconds,!and!then!give!the!gestural!prompt!(pointing!
to!the!tree!on!the!table).!The!child!might!respond!correctly!during!the!twoJsecond!delay!before!the!

ERRORLESS'LEARNING'
The!prompt!fading!procedures!described!previously!in!this!chapter!are!sometimes!referred!to!
as! errorless! learning! procedures! because,! if! the! prompt! fading! procedures! are! applied! properly,!
they!minimize!the!likelihood!that!errors!will!occur.!At!one!time!it!was!believed!that!people!had!to!
make! mistakes! while! learning! in! order! to! know! what! not! to! do.! However,! research! on! prompt!
fading!procedures!has!demonstrated!that!it!is!best!to!reduce!errors!to!as!few!as!possible!because!
the! occurrence! of! frequent! errors! on! the! part! of! a! learner! has! several! disadvantages.! First,! they!
consume! valuable! time.! Second,! the! fewer! errors! that! occur,! the! more! time! the! teacher! has!
available! to! focus! on! teaching! new! skills! rather! than! correcting! errors.! Third,! because! errors!
typically! are! not! followed! by! reinforcers,! the! lack! of! reinforcement! may! be! associated! with!
emotional!side!effects!on!the!part!of!the!child,!which!disrupt!the!teaching!process.!!
An! obvious! question! to! ask! is:! which! of! the! above! four! prompt! fading! procedures! is! most!
effective?!The!answer!is!that!many!studies!have!indicated!little!or!no!difference!in!the!effectiveness!
of! these! four! prompt! fading! methods.! Therefore,! the! choice! of! which! procedure! to! use! depends!
upon! the! nature! of! the! task! and! the! initial! performance! of! the! child.! For! example,! graduated!
guidance!is!likely!to!be!used!when!teaching!a!child!some!physical!action!that!might!initially!require!
some!physical!guidance,!such!as!drawing!and!tracing,!or!making!a!bed.!The!choice!of!promptJfading!
procedure! to! be! used! should! be! guided! by! an! experienced! behavior! analyst,! as! they! have! the!
proper!training!to!make!such!decisions!for!individual!children.!!
!
Note:!In!this!manual!we!will!ask!you!to!practice!MostJtoJLeast!prompt!fading.!In!order!to!use!the!
