    Are we thinking about prompts all wrong? Session 339 with Andy Bondy (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    What exactly do we mean when we say we're "fading" a prompt? Is a physical prompt inherently more intrusive—or more difficult to eliminate—than a gestural or verbal prompt? And what does "errorless learning" actually tell us about the teaching procedures we're using? Dr. Andy Bondy returns to the podcast to tackle these questions through the lens of gradualism : the idea that meaningful behavioral change often emerges through small changes that accumulate over time. Andy has recently been presen
