Extract

This study examined the generalization effects of two parent training phases (instructions plus feedback and self-management training) on parents implementation of behavior modification skills in extra training settings in the community. Using a multiple baseline design across families two families were sequentially introduced to each training condition. Instructions plus feedback provided home-based training to the parents in both stimulus control techniques (instruction giving, prompting) and the use of consequences (reinforcement reprimands, extinction and time-out). Self-management training involved teaching parents to manage their own behavior in specific parenting situations. Training involved teaching parents self-monitoring, goal setting, and planning skills specific to their performance of parenting skills in a range of community settings.
