Abstract

"Core skills for children in school require that they perform simple and conditional discrimination tasks. Simple and conditional discriminations can be taught using trial-and-error or errorless teaching procedures. The current study evaluated the use of two different errorless prompting procedures to teach conditional discriminations to typically developing children, and children diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)."
