Since appropriate positive environments that maintain specific academic behavior may not always exist, skills allowing- students to prompt teacher praise and modify environmental contingencies would be beneficial to those experiencing low rates of positive teacher feedback. The training procedure required students to complete portions of an academic exercise, evaluate the quality of completed work, and prompt or cue the trainer for positive feedback. Spontaneous generalization of cueing skills to the classroom indicated an increase in the percentage of sessions where cueing occurred over that of baseline for five of six students. In addition, an increase in the rate of teacher praise was recorded for four of six students. Further increases in student cueing occurred for four of six students during instructed generalization. Although a decrease in the rate of praise over the previous condition was recorded, the rate exceeded that of baseline for three students, remained the same for one, and decreased for two students.Read More
