Research in Developmental Disabilities, v20 n6 p429-39 Nov-Dec 1999

This study examined the effectiveness of self-operated auditory prompts when used to decrease the off-task and aberrant behaviors of two 19-year-old students with moderate mental retardation. Previous findings were replicated to demonstrate that stimulus control can be achieved through self-operated auditory prompts in school and community settings. (Contains extensive references.)
