Abstract/Description:
The present study compared two variations of a 2-second delay prompting hierarchy on the acquisition of solitary play and vocational skills. The most to least with a 2-second delay hierarchy (MTL 2 s delay) instructed with fading physical prompts. A simplified version, referred to as manual guidance with a 2-second delay (MG 2 s delay), instructed with a static prompt and constant time delay. All participants acquired the play and vocational tasks, and the rate of acquisition was comparable for all tasks taught in both conditions. The rate of acquisition was similar between fading prompts and not fading prompts while maintaining a constant time delay.
