Peer reviewedStevens, Kay B.; Schuster, John W. – Remedial and Special Education (RASE), 1988
This article reviews the use of time delay, a nearly errorless instructional procedure, with mildly handicapped students. The procedure is outlined and data collection techniques are specified. Considerations for using time delay with learning disabled students such as programing for maintenance and generalization are discussed. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedGibson, Amy N.; Schuster, John W. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 1992
This study of four preschool children (two typically developing, one physically disabled, one mildly developmentally delayed) found that use of a simultaneous prompting procedure was effective in teaching expressive word recognition to three of the students. Maintenance and generalization were also successful. (Author/JDD)

Peer reviewedSchuster, John W.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1988
The effectiveness of a five-second time-delay procedure to teach three chained food preparation behaviors to four moderately retarded adolescents was evaluated within a multiple probe design across behaviors. The skills maintained over a three-month period and generalized from school to home for subjects completing the generalization probe…

Peer reviewedSchuster, John W.; And Others – Journal of Special Education, 1990
A 5-second constant time delay procedure was used to teach 10 word definitions to 3 fifth grade students with mild learning handicaps. All students learned the definitions in 8 to 9 sessions with students maintaining correct responding at 6, 10, and 14 weeks after training. Generalization was also observed. (Author/DB)

Schuster, John W.; Griffen, Ann K. – Education and Training in Mental Retardation, 1991
A five-second constant time delay procedure with recipe cards was used to teach drink preparation to five intermediate-aged elementary students with moderate mental handicaps. The procedure was effective in teaching all students how to complete the task; 12-month followup showed at least 81 percent accuracy. (Author/JDD)

Peer reviewedMitchell, Rebecca J.; Schuster, John W.; Collins, Belva C.; Gassaway, Linda J. – Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, 2000
Three students (ages 14-16) with mild mental retardation were taught to use an auditory prompting system to complete the vocational tasks of cleaning a bathroom in a classroom setting. Students acquired the skills and generalized them to a novel setting. There were mixed results concerning maintenance of the skills. (Contains 10 references.)…

Peer reviewedSingleton, Dana K.; Schuster, John W.; Morse, Timothy E.; Collins, Belva C. – Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, 1999
Both simultaneous prompting and antecedent prompt and test procedures were effective in teaching four adolescents with moderate mental retardation to read grocery sight words. However, the antecedent prompt and test procedure was more efficient on measures of acquisition and the simultaneous prompting procedure was more efficient on measures of…
