Discrete trial training is a commonly used to teach children with autism spectrum disorder and related intellectual disabilities. A number of prompting error correction strategies can be implemented when using discrete training. These need effective efficient. We compared novel procedure, responsive prompt delay, most least no-no prompting. parallel treatments design, nestled in modified multip...

The effects of three levels of treatment integrity (100%, 50%, and 0%) on child compliance were evaluated in the context of the implementation of a three-step prompting procedure. Two typically developing preschool children participated in the study. After baseline data on compliance to one of three common demands were collected, a therapist implemented the three-step prompting procedure at thr...

Nonconvex nonsmooth potential functions have superior restoration performance for the images with neat boundaries. However, several difficulties emerge from the numerical computation. Thus the graduated nonconvex (GNC) method is suggested to deal with these problems. To improve the performance of the GNC method further, a class of nonconvex nonsmooth approximate potential functions have been co...

We evaluated a video prompting and a constant time delay procedure for teaching three primary school students with moderate intellectual disabilities to access the Internet and download pictures related to participation in a classroom History project. Video clips were used as an antecedent prompt and as an error correction technique within a constant time delay (CTD) procedure. Training, using ...

The cornerstones of current management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are the routine use of anticoagulant therapy, graduated elastic compression stockings, and early ambulation. Thrombolytic therapy was previously reserved only for patients with life-, limb-, or organ-threatening complications. However, the postthrombotic syndrome has been increasingly recognized as a frequent and serious long-...

This research adopts the Graduated Prompting Assessment Module of the WATA system (GPAM-WATA) and applies it to the remedial teaching of junior high school mathematics. The theoretical basis of the development of GPAM-WATA is the idea of ‘graduated prompt approach’ proposed by Campione and Brown (1985; 1987, pp. 92–95). In GPAM-WATA, when examinees fail to answer items correctly, they obtain in...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of behavioral interventions on the sleep/wakefulness of infants, parent and infant stress, and later child emotional/behavioral problems, and parent-child attachment. METHODS A total of 43 infants (6-16 months, 63% girls) were randomized to receive either graduated extinction (n = 14), bedtime fading (n = 15), or sleep education control (n = 14). Sleep measu...

INTRODUCTION The New Zealand Graduated Driver Licensing System (GDLS) is designed to allow novice drivers to gain driving experience under conditions of reduced risk. METHOD To examine the effectiveness of the GDLS, an analysis of how the crash involvement of novice drivers changes as drivers move through the GDLS was undertaken. Crash profiles were created by data matching the New Zealand li...
