Evolution of Errorless Learning in Psychiatric Rehabilitation

Abstract

We focus on Robert P. Liberman's influence on the development and adaptation of a behavioral learning approach used in the rehabilitation of individuals with schizophrenia called errorless learning. In this article we present: the origins of errorless learning; first proof-of-concept study of errorless learning in a sample of individuals with psychotic disorders; follow-up laboratory-based studies of errorless learning; and a community-based study of errorless learning.
