I agree , It is so important to appropriately execute prompt fading with our learners so as to avoid prompt dependencies. I often see this with learners acquiring verbal behavior. For example, one of the most common ones I see is when a learner engages in inappropriate behavior instead of manding, someone might say “how do you ask?” the learner then asks appropriately and is reinforced. Time and time again this occurs. Ultimately, In this situation the manding behavior is not under stimulus control of the prompt “how do you ask?” In other words this manding behavior will not occur unless someone says “how do you ask?” first. Using a proper prompting and fading procedure would allow the opportunity to teach the manding behavior and then systematically fade the prompts to allow transfer of stimulus control to the naturally occurring stimulus.
I'm surprised that there is little research on prompt dependence. I find that this is something I hear a lot when working in the field. I wonder why that is the case?
2 years too late for the party, but I was listening to a podcast where the speaker was talking about how prompt dependency and prompt fading were not a real thing.

Can you break down stimulus and response prompt deeper?
Kate this was great thanks!
Is there a difference between graduated guidance and physical prompting?

@@IcanSeeMyselfOutThanksdo you mind sharing what podcast?
We too would love to check out the podcast as well if you don't mind sharing
One of the many Behavioral Observations podcasts. I'll look them up
Thank you Emily Moore! Helpful content.
I need this
