Case Study: Training and Generalization of a "Yes-No" Discrimination with a Developmentally Delayed Child.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weisberg, Paul; And Others – Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 1986
By watching and responding to the way a shill answered "yes-no" questions about food items, a developmentally delayed preschool boy greatly improved over his poor base-line "yes-no" answers to these same items. He was also able to give correct answers subsequently during generalization probe sessions. (PS)
