Errorless Learning

In Plain Language

Arranging teaching to prevent or minimize errors while a new skill develops.

ABA Definition

Instruction using planned prompts and fading to reduce incorrect responses and transfer control to relevant stimuli.

Everyday Example

A tutorial highlights the next control before a beginner must select it.

ABA Example

An instructor provides an effective prompt early, then systematically fades it as the learner succeeds.

How It May Be Used

“Errorless” is an aim, not a guarantee of zero mistakes.
