Increasing Autistic Children's Spontaneous Verbalizations of Affection: an Assessment of Time Delay and Peer Modeling Procedures.

Charlop, Marjorie H.; Walsh, Michele E.

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v19 n3 p307-14 Fall 1986

The study assessed the efficacy of time delay and peer modeling procedures in increasing spontaneous verbalizations of affection in four autistic children (ages 6-8). Results indicated that the time delay was a quick and effective procedure for all subjects. Peer modeling was unsuccessful in teaching the target behavior. (Author)
