Question 3

Give an example of each of the following concepts
-Physical prompt (physical guidance)

Accepted Answer

A physical prompt, also known as physical guidance, is a type of assistance where you physically help someone to complete a task or action. This is often used in teaching new skills or behaviors, particularly when the learner has difficulty understanding verbal instructions or when safety is a concern.

Example of a Physical Prompt:

Imagine a parent teaching a young child how to brush their teeth. The child has never brushed their teeth independently and is unsure of how to hold the toothbrush and perform the brushing motion. The parent would use a physical prompt by gently holding the child's hand, guiding it to pick up the toothbrush, and then moving the child's hand and the toothbrush together in the correct brushing motion over the teeth. This hands-on guidance helps the child feel the correct movement and learn the skill through physical experience.

Over time, the physical prompts can be gradually reduced as the child becomes more capable of performing the task independently, a process known as fading. The goal is for the learner to eventually complete the task without any prompts.
