Kurzfassung:
In this study, the effects of two schedules of implementing instruction (every-day and every-other-day) were compared. Six preschool children participated, 4 with typical development and 2 with disabilities (autism and pervasive developmental disorders). An adapted alternating treatments design was used to evaluate the effects of the two schedules. Children's performance on target behaviors, maintenance of the behaviors, generalization across persons and settings, and observational learning were assessed. The findings indicated that (a) 5 of the 6 children acquired all behaviors taught with both schedules, and 1 child acquired one behavior with each schedule; (b) all children acquired behaviors in the every-other-day schedule in fewer sessions, trials, and minutes of instruction than in the every-day schedule; (c) generalization and follow-up were not differentially affected by the two schedules; and (d) relatively little observational learning occurred. The results are discussed in terms of future research on scheduling instruction and implications for practice.
