Gestural, position, and redundancy of antecedent stimuli are all types of what?

The correct response is based on the concept of prompts used in behavior analysis. Gestural, position, and redundancy of antecedent stimuli all fall under the category of stimulus prompts.

Stimulus prompts are modifications to the environment that help evoke a desired behavior by making certain aspects of a stimulus more noticeable or encouraging a response. For example, a gestural prompt involves using hand signals to guide a learner’s behavior. Position prompts involve placing a particular item closer to the learner to increase the likelihood that they will engage with that item. Redundancy of antecedent stimuli involves using additional cues or enhancing the existing cues present in the environment to make it easier for the individual to understand what is expected.

In contrast, physical prompts involve some form of physical assistance or guidance to help shape a behavior. Visual prompts typically include any visual cues, such as pictures or written instructions, to guide behavior. Verbal prompts rely on spoken instructions or feedback to elicit a response. Understanding the distinctions between these categories helps practitioners utilize the most effective methods for supporting learning and behavior change in individuals.
