Effects of High-Probability Requests on the Acquisition and Generalization of Responses to Requests in Young Children with Behavior Disorders.

Davis, Carol Ann; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v25 n4 p905-16 Win 1992

High-probability requests were provided to two boys (age seven) with behavior disorders and severe disabilities as an antecedent to delivering a low-probability request. Results showed an immediate increase in appropriate responding when the intervention was delivered. Generalized responding and response maintenance were also exhibited. (Author/JDD)
