Progressive time delay is a means of systematically providing then
fading prompts in order to teach a new skill. Initially, the student

00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:22,440
is prompted when the cue is presented, This is known as a 0-second
delay. Later, the time between the cue and the prompt is increased,

00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:30,540
for example by beginning with 1-second delay and then increasing to a
2-second delay and so forth.

00:00:30,540 --> 00:00:39,110
Zero-second time delay: During a 0-second time delay, the teacher
provides the correct response when the prompt is presented, and then

00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:42,240
the student performs the skill.

00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,650
Teacher: Okay, Emory, are you ready for our sight words? Okay, “we.”
Emory: “We.”

00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:50,000
Teacher: Good! “Cat.”
Emory: “Cat.”

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,450
Teacher: Good job! “Dog.”
Emory: “Dog.”

00:00:53,450 --> 00:00:54,910

00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:11,130
One-second time delay: During a 1-second time delay, the teacher
provides the prompt and waits for one second, allowing the student to

00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:17,510
perform the skill. If the student doesn’t respond, the teacher
demonstrates the skill.

00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:20,220
Teacher: Okay, Emory, we’re going to do our sight words again today,
okay?

00:01:20,220 --> 00:01:21,100

Emory: “Be.”
Teacher: Good job! You did great with your sight words today!

00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:55,750
Two-second time delay: Once the student begins to respond correctly
within the 1-second delay, the teacher increases the delay to two

00:01:55,750 --> 00:02:00,110
seconds between providing the prompt and performing the skill.

00:02:00,110 --> 00:02:03,400
Teacher: Okay, Emory, are you ready to do your sight words today?
Emory: Uh huh.
