Acquisition and Maintenance of Video Game Initiation, Sustaining and Termination Skills.
Duffy, Ann T.; Nietupski, John
Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v20 n2 p157-62 Jun 1985
A young adult with severe disabilities was taught to initiate, sustain, and terminate an Atari video game. A multiple probe design across these three skills clusters was used to validate the instructional package. Instruction consisted of total task presentation with teacher praise for correct task step performance and a gradually increased intervention hierarchy for task step errors. (Author/CL)
