D. Houlihan et al., REPLICATION OF A HIGH-PROBABILITY REQUEST SEQUENCE WITH VARIED INTERPROMPT TIMES IN A PRESCHOOL SETTING, Journal of applied behavior analysis, 27(4), 1994, pp. 737-738
An intervention for noncompliance consisting of a series of requests p
romoting a high probability of compliance followed either 5 s or 20 s
later by a request with a low probability of compliance was implemente
d with a preschool child with autism. Results indicated that applicati
ons of the request sequence with a shorter interprompt time resulted i
n higher rates of compliance, and longer interprompt times resulted in
near-baseline rates of compliance.
