Computer Prompts to Improve Social Interactions and Data Collection.
Realon, Rodney E.; And Others
Mental Retardation, v30 n1 p23-28 Feb 1992
This study, involving four staff members in an institution for people with mental retardation, found that a computerized system of prompts to improve staff-client interactions produced more positive statements, improved distribution of interaction among clients, and resulted in delivery of more positive reinforcement than a traditional paper-and-pencil approach.
