  • Title: An eight-year follow-up of three social skills training studies.
    Author: Foxx RM, Faw GD.
    Journal: Ment Retard; 1992 Apr; 30(2):63-6. PubMed ID: 1584030.
    Abstract:
    An 8-year follow-up of the maintenance of social skills training effects was conducted. Nine subjects from previously published studies that targeted general/social, social/vocational, and social/sexual skills were retested in role play or interview/simulation generalization assessments. The follow-up tests revealed that 5 subjects' correct responding was maintained well above their pretrained or baseline levels, and 3 responded above their posttest levels. Increases in an untargeted response, number of words per response, were maintained for most of the subjects whose percentage correct responding was maintained. The results suggest that some individuals will display enduring situation-specific social responding.
