Teaching Computation/Shopping Skills to Mentally Retarded Adults.
Matson, Johnny L.; Long, Sue
American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v91 n1 p98-101 Jul 1986
Three moderately/mildly retarded adults were trained in adaptive community skills. Treatment involved instructions, performance feedback, social reinforcement, in-vivo modeling, self-evaluation, and social and tangible reinforcement. Rapid and dramatic improvements occurred soon after treatment began. Skills generalized to other shopping experiences, stores, and gains were maintained at a 2-month follow-up. (Author/CL)
