D. None of the above
Answer:
The answer which best describes the procedure above is C) Demand Fading
Step-by-step explanation:
Demand fading or Stimulus fading involves introducing or altering a new element, such as color, intensity, or size, to the target stimulus, which is gradually faded by reducing its intensity or components.
Demand fading is a subject under Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). It is used to solve important behavioral problems as well as teach important skills.
Demand fading prevents difficult behaviors by breaking down a huge task into smaller parts then adding some more.
