Replacing Maladaptive Speech with Verbal Labeling Responses: An Analysis of Generalized Responding.

Foxx, R. M.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v21 n4 p411-17 Win 1988

The results of their cues-pause-point training showed that the students replaced their maladaptive speech with correct labels (answers) to questions in the training setting and three generalization settings.
