When a new skill needs to be taught, often times some type of __________ should be used.

Question

1)	prompting procedure
2)	punishment procedure
3)	functional assessment procedure
4)	noncontingent reinforcement procedure

Answer 1

The answer is 1) Prompting Procedure

This is because a 'prompting procedure' refers to a process that utilizes a few basic steps to encourage an individual to learn something new, by 'prompting' them to respond to a question in a particular way, or make particular associations between different elements. For example, you can prompt the response 'Car' from a child by showing them a picture of a car with the words' CAR" written on it and having them respond to it by saying 'CAR', which may over a short period of time aid them in forming an association between what 'a car looks like' and what it is called - 'car'.
