Normand, Matthew P.; Kestner, Kathryn; Jessel, Joshua – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
When we evaluated variables that influence the effectiveness of the high-probability (high-p) instruction sequence, the sequence was associated with a precipitous decrease in compliance with high-"p" instructions for 1 participant, thereby precluding continued use of the sequence. We investigated the reasons for this decrease. Stimuli associated…

Zuluaga, Carlos A.; Normand, Matthew P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
We assessed the effects of reinforcement and no reinforcement for compliance to high-probability (high-p) instructions on compliance to low-probability (low-p) instructions using a reversal design. For both participants, compliance with the low-p instruction increased only when compliance with high-p instructions was followed by reinforcement.…

Bullock, Chrystin; Normand, Matthew P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2006
We compared the effects of a high-probability (high-"p") instruction sequence and a fixed-time (FT) schedule of reinforcement on the compliance of 2 typically developing children. A multielement experimental design with a reversal component was implemented according to a multiple baseline across participants arrangement. Both the high-"p" and FT…
