Multiple Alternative Prompts
Recorded in 2023
Abstract:
In this CEU event, Dr. Leaf will describe a study which compared multiple alternative prompting to vocal verbal prompts while teaching tacting to three individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). An adapted alternating-treatments design was implemented and showed that both procedures were effective relative to a no-intervention control condition. Providing multiple alternatives did not increase error rates or teaching time, and better maintenance was shown for tacts taught with the multiple-alternative prompt. Within this CEU event Dr. Leaf will go over the procedures within the study, the results of the study, and clinical implications.
