| What can the behavior analyst do to promote unscripted responses while training with scripts? | What are some considerations for script fading? |
|---|---|
fade using textual prompts | drop last one word each time |
Script fading | Make it gradual |
Begin fading scripts as early as possible | Begin it early in the procedure |
. | . |
. | . |
Prompt fading, diferential reinforcement and prompt delay | It must be planned and started as soon as the training begins. |
tacting | fading |
identify transitional phrases | conversation topics |
script fading, use differentiated reinforcement for unscripted responses | fading the last phrase/word first |
Fading procedures by fading the last word. Higher reinforcement for generalization. | Drop the last word. Use audio prompts in the natural environment if helpful. |
last word fading | Timing |
Differential reinforcement | Eliminate the last word |
frames | one word at a time |
use open ended scripts | Fade gradually and systematically |
Fade as soon as possible | fade as soon as possible |
She can provide examples and non examples that Cheryl can use and develop her own responses from. | Have come up with her own |
Provide a card with possible scripts to use that she can view before the break. | Reduce the amount of words on the cards. |
model | generalize |
quickly fade scripts, use frames | how quickly it can be faded, how to fade it, can she self monitor |
use frames, use higher magnitude reinforcers for unscripted responses | fade last word systematically |
observe how others converse in the natural environment | fading quickly |
Textual prompts could be utilized to increase independence and systematically faded out. | Script fading should be done quickly, and it is best practice to give various compliments. |
Fade the use of the scripts early and utilize differential reinforcement for unscripted responses. | Make sure Cheryl is utilizing the script in part before fading, maintaining awareness of the response time when fading begins. |
use differential reinforcement | begin fading early |
She can fade out scripts and refinforce novel responses | fade after MC is mastered |
