Comparison of Constant Time Delay and the System of Least Prompts in Teaching Chained Tasks.
Wolery, Mark; And Others
Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v25 n3 p243-57 Sep 1990
Four students (ages 10-14) with moderate mental retardation learned chained tasks with constant time delay and with the system of least prompts. Both strategies produced criterion-level performance; however, constant time delay was more efficient than least prompts in terms of number of sessions, percent of errors, and direct instructional time to criterion.
