Evaluation of the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Two Stimulus Prompt Strategies with Severely Handicapped Students.

Steege, Mark W.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v20 n3 p293-99 Fall 1987

The study compared the effectiveness of a traditional training procedure (least-to-most restrictive prompt sequence) and a prescriptive training procedure (utilizing ongoing behavioral assessment data to identify discriminative stimuli) with four severely/multiply handicapped students (ages 11-19). Results indicated both procedures were effective but the prescriptive procedure was more efficient. (Author/DB)
