Establishing Gestural Yes-No Responding with Individuals with Profound Mental Retardation.
Duker, Pieter C.; Jutten, Willy
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v32 n1 p59-67 Mar 1997
A procedure involving prompting, repetition of the correct response, and reinforcement was effectively used to teach three adults with profound mental retardation gestural yes-no responding. However, reliable generalization of the individuals' responses across settings or persons did not occur even after generality training. (Author/DB)
