A rejoinder to Leaf: What constitutes efficient, applied, and trial and error

Pages 234-238 | Published online: 18 Jun 2012
 

Abstract

In my response to Leaf (Citation2011), we agree that more comparative studies on response prompting procedures need to be conducted, and that it is “hard to justify the use of any trial and error procedure”. There appears to be disagreement, however, on several points, including: a) the need to separate the discussion of a procedure's effectiveness and efficiency; b) what constitutes an applied or functional skill; c) that NNP is a trial and error procedure; d) the importance of researchers explicitly reporting multiple measures of efficiency so that readers can independently evaluate the efficiency of the prompting strategies being compared; and e) that error correction procedures are inappropriate during early stages of learning. I briefly address my position regarding each.
