Matson, Johnny L.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v23 n2 p227-33 Sum 1990

Three autistic children (ages 9-11) received spontaneous communication training using a time delay, modeling, and food reinforcement procedure. Results showed gains in 2 spontaneous responses ("please" and "thank you") and 1 verbally prompted response ("you're welcome"). Gains were validated socially with 10 adults. (Author/JDD)
