    Author: Peck CA, Fasbender TB, Cooke TP, Apolloni T.
    Journal: Adolescence; 1982; 17(68):871-80. PubMed ID: 7164878.
    Abstract:
    A program for strengthening promptness and initiative behaviors was conducted with three educable, mentally retarded adolescents. The program consisted of three elements: (a) instructions on the responses desired and their importance, (b) a self-evaluation procedure, and (c) consequation of successful performance with social praise from the classroom teacher. The results supported the efficacy of the intervention package as a method for teaching two behaviors that are commonly emphasized in prevocational and vocational special education curricula.
