| Pretraining |
Training seven behavioral chains with Microsoft Word and training to report the skills. |
Simon |
| Phase 1 |
Training three different behavioral chains with Microsoft Word. |
Simon |
| Phase 2 |
Testing for overt and covert self-instruction: Testing if concurrent talk-aloud procedures were functionally equivalent to performance without talk-aloud reports for the behavioral chains in Phase 1. No programmed consequences followed correct or incorrect responses. |
Simon |
| Phases 3 and 4 |
Training and testing for blocking: Testing if the introduction of counting reduced correct responses for the behavior skills from Phase 1 to baseline levels. No programmed consequences followed correct or incorrect responses. |
Simon |
| Phase 5 |
Testing for self-instructions as external directives: Testing if the verbal reports produced in Phase 2 and subsequently used as an external rule with another boy produced alteration in his task performance. No programmed consequences followed correct or incorrect responses. |
Philip |
| Follow-up |
Testing if the behavior skills from Phase 1 were maintained 8, 9, and 10 weeks after reaching criterion performance. No programmed consequences were delivered during the follow-up phase. |
