Move to partial physical prompts and move the student’s elbow towards the blue card. Continue with this method for several trials/days. Then you provide praise and a reinforcer. So if you are working on identifying blue, you would say, “touch blue” and then immediately move the students hand to the blue card. When using errorless learning, provide the prompt directly after the natural or teaching cue. However error correction can be done incorrectly and students may not have a enough chances to engage in the appropriate response and receive reinforcement. In traditional trial and error teaching, children learn from their mistakes. The idea behind errorless learning is that students never have a chance to get stuck in a chain of incorrect responses. This approach uses most to least prompting so you start with the most invasive prompts and move to less invasive prompts. Errorless learning ensures that skills or concepts are performed correctly by providing a prompt immediately. Errorless learning can be extremely effective if done correctly. You can utilize prompting in an errorless learning procedure. We want our learners to be functional and functional is independent. Fading prompts is as important as using the prompts. If I bought a ton more Ikea furniture, I would (hopefully) learn the types of screwdrivers. After taking the same work out class for several weeks, I know how to do biceps curls without watching the trainer. I have faded those prompts and can find it on my own. When I am at home, I don’t need google maps to find my starbucks. We don’t want them to need these prompts forever. For me and for all of our students, our goal is independence. These prompts helps me find starbucks, accomplish the new work out, and give the correct screwdriver. When I’m helping my husband put together some ridiculous Ikea cabinet with 4800 pieces and he says hand me a Phillips screwdriver and I embarrassingly don’t which one that is, he gives a gestural prompt and points to the right screwdriver. When I take a work out class, I watch the instructor model a new work out I haven’t done before. When I am in a new city, I use the visual and verbal prompts of my google map to get me to starbucks. These prompts that we give cue our students in on how to respond. You raise your hand in their and say, “if you have a question raise your hand” and show your class what to do. You hand out pencils to a group and say, “what do you say” to get your students to say thank you. ![]() After you help a student go to the bathroom, you point to the flush button to have him flush. Prompts are something we add to a situation to increase the likelihood of our student responding correctly. This is a word that gets thrown around so often that we end up forgetting what it means and what the purpose is. ![]()
