Question

Grace is teaching Micah how to write his name. She started by giving him a sheet with his name spelled in dark dotted lines. Once Micah was able to trace his name using those dark dotted lines, she faded them until there were no lines and he could write his name independently. What was the process Grace used?

Answer 1

Stimulus Fading

Step-by-step explanation:

Fading: The term fading is used in behavioral therapy techniques, for example, behavioral modification in which the initial prompt to get a desired behavior is being vanished or fades away after the behavior is being accomplished.

Stimulus fading: The term stimulus fading refers to the process of changing the physical properties of a specific stimulus methodically, and is often considered as technically behavioral term.

In other words, it is a process in which a spare or an extra stimulus is being used to instruct a particular correct response and is methodically fades out. Here an extra stimulus can be any cue, or picture, etc.
