Antecedent Pausing as a Direct Instruction Tactic for Adolescents with Severe Behavioral Disorders.

Hawkins, Jacqueline

Behavioral Disorders, v13 n4 p263-72 Aug 1988

This study sought to determine the effects of an instructional pause procedure on the verb identification performance of eight 8th- and 9th-grade students with severe behavior disorders. Seven of the students showed improvements of 14 percent to 29 percent, and significant generalization to student-generated written work was also demonstrated. (Author/JDD)
