The missing-item format improved requesting skills in children. Further training enhanced generalization and durability of these language skills across settings.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Applied Behavior Analysis

Background:

  • Children with developmental delays often struggle with spontaneous requesting.
  • Effective language interventions are crucial for improving communication skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the missing-item format on spontaneous requesting skills.
  • To assess the generalization and durability of requesting skills after intervention.
  • To investigate the impact of additional generalization training.

Main Methods:

  • The study utilized the missing-item format, an assessment and training approach.
  • Intervention focused on requesting targeted snack items during snack periods.
  • Generalization and response-durability measures were collected.

  • A subsequent generalization training program was implemented.
  • Main Results:

    • The missing-item format initially improved requests for targeted items.
    • Initial generalization and durability measures showed limited effects.
    • The added generalization training program led to significant improvements.
    • A durable requesting repertoire generalized across settings was established.

    Conclusions:

    • The missing-item format is effective for teaching requesting skills.
    • Generalization training is essential for establishing durable and generalized requesting repertoires.
    • This approach supports the development of functional communication in children.
