Which type of prompt fading involves initially providing a prompt that is then faded out as the learner responds correctly?

The type of prompt fading that involves starting with a more intrusive prompt and then gradually reducing the level of support as the learner starts to respond correctly is referred to as "most-to-least" prompting. In this approach, the instructor begins with a strong or direct prompt to ensure the learner can successfully engage with the target behavior. Once the learner demonstrates the ability to perform the task correctly with the initial prompt, the prompt is faded out, leading to increased independence in the learner. This method allows learners to transition from dependence on prompts to executing the behavior independently, making it an effective strategy in teaching new responses or skills.
