Resumo
This study examined the effects of variant versus invariant high‐probability (high‐p) request sequences on the performance of requests to initiate a social bid by young children with emotional‐behavioral disorders. In the initial phases of the investigation, a multiple baseline design showed that the delivery of invariant sequences (i.e., high‐p requests delivered in the same sequence) produced initial increases in compliance to requests to initiate a social bid to a peer. However, increases were not maintained across the invariant condition. The delivery of variant high‐p sequences produced increases in compliance to requests to initiate social bids that were maintained across the variant condition. In a follow‐up condition, the number of requests within the pool of the variant and invariant high‐p requests were controlled. Results of the follow‐up condition replicated those found in the initial condition. Implications for applied use and future research are discussed.
