Incidental Teaching of Mentally Retarded Students within a Token System.
Fabry, Bernard D; And Others
American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v89 n1 p29-36 Jul 1984
Six mentally retarded students (12-22 years old) were taught to name sight words during token-exchange periods of a token-reinforcement system. Sequential teaching of new sets of sight words via a multiple-baseline design evaluated the procedure. Five of the 6 students acquired sight-word vocabularies. Data support the educational use of token-exchange periods. (Author/CL)
