| What can the behavior analyst do to promote unscripted responses while training with scripts? | What are some considerations for script fading? |
|---|---|
train various responses | |
gestural prompting, teaching social cues | fading prompts to quickly may cause learners regression |
Differential reinforcement of unscripted responses and script fading. | Use prompt delay, vary the scripts used, and fade from the end of the script back. |
Social skills | Too keep the learner from becoming to rigid |
Train on many different types of compliments that can be used to initiate a conversation. | Once some basic scripts have been mastered, work on complimenting slightly different types of things that will promote generalization. |
Script fading | Drop the last word |
Script fading | Take away the last word of the script one at a time. Know that unscripted initiations typically occur after the script is faded. |
Model, provide script frames to support unscripted responses within a structured context | Reduce the length of the script gradually |
Behavior analysts can train Cheryl to start to observe other co-workers and notice their likes/dislikes. Also they can provide some structure of what to say with providing frames for her. | Script fading should begin early in the training and multiple exmplars should be used to avoid resistance to fading. |
Script fading, differential reinforcement of unscripted conversations, prompt delay and switching to VR schedule | Ensuring enough scripts are provided across different activities |
observe in the environment and test scripts for social validity | |
Fade the script quickly. | Reinforcement schedules and how much reinforcement is being used. |
Prompt delay and script fading | Systematic fading |
Provide higher rates of reinforcement for unscripted responses and start script fading early. | Start early, and start by removing one word from the end at a time. |
Script fading | Script fading, generalization, multiple exemplars |
Provide Scripts but use a script fading proceduring | multiple exemplars, script fading, generalization. |
DRA of unscripted responses, change to VR schedule of reinforcement | Fade the last word first, then so on |
fade | leaving out last words |
Practice one on one with therapist using scripts at first, not during lunch or break times with co-workers. | Have many exemplars and fade as quickly as possible, differentials reinforce for novel statements that are socially relevant. |
The behavior analyst can utilize script fading to fade the scripts as well as differential reinforcement when the client engages ikn unscripted responses. | She can fade the last word of the script or use audible scripts and fade them systematically as well. |
Script fading | Keep reinforcement and leave off last word. |
plan to fade quickly and provide multiple exemplars, use bst. | fade 1 word at a time from the back to front |
Use different types of prompts that encourage spontaneous responses | Assess the learner's comfort and familiarity with the script before beginning the fading process. |
Script fading | Put a time delay first |
Script potential answers | use bullet points as a start |
