[ ] TFFC reversal question

What sort of prompt other than echoic prompts can be used for teaching the

first reversals?

For instance we have taught:

" What do you cut with? SCISSORS "

-this was taught with a tact to TFFC transfer:

" What is it? " (picture of scissors held up) SCISSORS

" What do you cut with? " (picture of scissors held up)SCISSORS

But what materials can be used to prompt the reversal " What do you do with

scissors? " CUT WITH THEM

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Consider the following a data point. You should experiment every day

whenever possible to fine tune.

The prompt for a TFFC reversal is the TFFC. Eg.,

Sd: What do you do with scissors?

R: NR

Sd: What do you cut with?

R: Scissors.

Sd: Good. What do you do with scissors?

R: Cut.

Having said that, we don't bother with TFFC reversals. We progress TFFC

to IFFC to IFFC reversal. Much more streamlined. Prompt for TFFC's are

pointing or echoic. Prompts for IFFC is to transfer to TFFC. Prompt

for IFFC reversal is IFFC or TFFC. Just a data point. When the prompt

fails, transfer back even further. Teachers need to dynamically gauge

strength of prompt. Some students may need more careful data-taking on

transfers at first--we only take data on independent responses. Your

own data will guide you.

Each flashcard has one FFC series on it. So the back of a scissors card

would have:

Scissors:

TFFC - what do you cut paper with?

IFFC - what do you cut paper with?

rev - what do you do with scissors? (cut paper)

Teacher can glance at the card to see what the transfer sequence is.

For every FFC, there is a flashcard. This means multiple flashcards for

every item (use a variety of pictures.) Put a sticker next to current

target.

In this particular example, you should be teaching other items that cut

(knife, lawnmower, saw) to get the multiple-exemplar on cutting.

I'd also have a pair of scissors and paper/playdough out so you can do

some apropo distractor trials with " cut " (what are you doing? Show me

cutting... etc..)
