Previous research on training auditory-visual conditional discriminations (AVCDs) have compared several prompt types including gestural, positional, and identity-matching prompts. Other prompting procedures, such as those that involve the manipulation of the comparison array, have received less attention in the applied literature. For example, the…

Participants were 4 children who had been diagnosed with autism; 2 had limited prior receptive skills, and 2 had…
