  • Title: A comparison of time delay and decreasing prompt hierarchy strategies in teaching banking skills to students with moderate handicaps.
    Author: McDonnell J, Ferguson B.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1989; 22(1):85-91. PubMed ID: 2708175.
    Abstract:
    Four students with moderate handicaps were taught to cash checks and to use an automatic teller through either a decreasing prompt hierarchy or time delay procedure. The strategies were compared within a multielement design. Results indicated that both strategies led to the acquisition of the target tasks; however, the decreasing prompt hierarchy was more efficient. Four and 8-week follow-up probes indicated that the strategies were equally effective in producing maintenance of performance.
