1 1/15 Mateo is learning to identify the color purple. The BCBA selected an errorless teaching procedure because previous instruction resulted in frequent errors and prompt dependency. The treatment plan specifies that prompts should be delivered in a manner that minimizes the likelihood of incorrect responding while gradually transferring stimulus control to the natural SD. During a trial, the RBT presents the color card and immediately provides the programmed prompt before Mateo has an opportunity to respond incorrectly. Which action is most consistent with the purpose of errorless teaching? Deliver the prompt early enough to reduce the probability of an error while planning to fade assistance systematically over time. Wait for an incorrect response before providing assistance so that learning occurs through error correction. Alternate between prompting and not prompting unpredictably to increase attending behavior. Remove prompts completely after the first correct response regardless of current performance.
