Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Practice Quiz

According to the text, the end goal of prompt fading is to reduce dependency on prompts. This means that as the learning process progresses, the prompts will be gradually removed until the individual is able to perform the task independently. This is important because it helps to promote independence and allows the individual to use their own problem-solving skills to complete the task. Option A is incorrect because prompt fading may actually take longer than other forms of instruction, as it allows for more individualized and gradual learning. Option B is incorrect because relying solely on verbal prompts can hinder the individual's ability to use other forms of prompts and problem-solve independently. Option D is incorrect because prompt fading focuses on gradually progressing to more complex responses, not introducing them directly.
