A Comparison of Two Methods of Prompting in Training Discrimination of Communication Book Pictures by Autistic Students.

Berkowitz, Susan

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v20 n2 p255-62 Jun 1990

Two methods of prompting were compared for their relative effectiveness in teaching a group of autistic students, age 12-20, to discriminate line drawings used in picture communication books. Students required fewer trials to criterion and made significantly fewer errors in the delayed-prompting technique compared to the fading-of-prompts design. (Author/JDD)
