A Comparison of Time Delay and Decreasing Prompt Hierarchy Strategies in Teaching Banking Skills to Students with Moderate Handicaps.

McDonnell, John; Ferguson, Brad

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v22 n1 p85-91 Spr 1989

Four students, aged 15-19, with moderate mental retardation learned to cash checks and use an automatic teller through either a decreasing prompt hierarchy or time-delay procedure. Both strategies led to acquisition of target tasks and were equally effective in producing performance maintenance; however, the decreasing prompt hierarchy was more efficient. (Author/JDD)
