Abstract
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.
