J Appl Behav Anal. 2009 Summer;42(2):405-10. doi: 10.1901/jaba.2009.42-405.

Abstract

The effectiveness of a behavioral skills training package that consisted of modeling, rehearsal, and feedback was evaluated to increase correct implementation of guided compliance by caregivers of 3 children who exhibited noncompliance. Results showed that the training package improved performance of guided compliance. Generalization probes indicated that the skills learned were exhibited in different settings 3 to 6 weeks after training ended.

Keywords: behavioral skills training; caregiver training; guided compliance; noncompliance; three-step prompting.
