Use of Teacher Prompts to Increase Social Behavior: Generalization Effects with Severely and Profoundly Retarded Adolescents.

And Others; Petersen, Gail A.

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v84 n1 p82-86 Jul 1979

In a single-subject design with replication across Ss, teacher prompts were used in an attempt to increase the rate of social behavior of three severely and profoundly retarded adolescents who were legally blind. Training took place in the classroom on successive school days with the teacher prompting each S to engage in positive social interaction with each peer. (Author)
