What type of learning strategy is recommended for VP-MTS training?

The recommended learning strategy for VP-MTS (Verbal Prompts and Multi-Element Teaching Strategy) training is errorless learning. This approach is particularly effective in teaching skills because it minimizes the likelihood of errors during the initial stages of learning. In errorless learning, prompts are provided to ensure that learners are successful in their responses, thereby reducing frustration and the possibility of reinforcing incorrect responses. The primary goal is to create an environment where the individual can successfully engage with the material, facilitating the acquisition of the desired skills or behaviors without the negative effects that can arise from mistakes.

By focusing on avoiding errors, students can build confidence and competence before gradually shifting towards more independent responses. This strategy is especially vital in the context of verbal operants, where the ability to respond correctly is crucial for effective communication skills development.
