Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Hi fellow ABA'ers, I'm trying to clarify an Errorless teaching/learning point & am having some difficulty. I'm aware that if (1) the same antecedent is repeated after a prompted response ( due to an initial non-response or potential incorrect response) and the child responds correct independently s/he gets a higher reinforcement level (potentially primary reinforcer & higher level of social praise ) as a consequence. However, people have written about & our consultant says that two transfer trials ( different antecedents than the one initially used can be done , for e.g. 2 easy body pt. receptives or an easy body pt. receptive and an easy pic. receptive; Then, return to the initial antecedent trying to illicit the correct response. Would this two transfer trial procedure only be performed if the child was correctly responding to (1) above consistently, would it be mixed in w/ (1) above , could it be done in place of (1) above (especially if the child verbally or non-verbally iimitates prompted responses automatically )? If the two transfer trial procedure is used would the child get an even higher level of reinforcement if he then provided the correct response to the original antecedent? Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Again, I'll try to summarize people's thought's on the list if appropriate. Sincerely Thank's Larry ( 8 yr old Keit'hs - bicenturion dad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
