Which of the following is a common type of prompt?

A verbal prompt is a common type of prompt used in behavior analysis and applied behavior analysis (ABA) practices. This type of prompt involves using spoken words or phrases to guide a learner towards a correct response. For example, verbally instructing a child to "Say 'thank you'" when they receive help is an effective way to prompt appropriate social behavior.

Verbal prompts are often used to encourage communication, provide instructions, or elicit specific responses, making them essential in teaching new skills and behaviors. They can be used alone or in combination with other prompts to facilitate learning and promote independence in a variety of settings.

Other types of prompts, like visual or physical prompts, can also be common, but in this context, the focus is specifically on the effectiveness and the direct nature of verbal prompts in prompting behaviors. Additionally, social prompts might refer to cues from social interactions rather than direct teaching interventions.
