3) Based on the data in Classrooms 2 and 3 when the initial intervention and fading procedures were implemented in Classroom 1, did the treatment effects generalize to the other classrooms? How do you know? The behavior analyst remembered that there are several suggested methods for planning ahead for generalization. One method relies on the use of “mediated stimuli” (stimuli that can be used for the response in both the training and generalization settings). (See the section entitled “Contrive a Mediating Stimulus,” pp. 743-744 in Cooper et al. (2020).) The behavior analyst decided to create a mediating stimulus in the form of a “Break Card” that John would use to request his break during the intervention (instead of simply raising his hand). During the “Break Card” phase, he was given a card with the word “Break” to put on his desk. He was also provided with instructions to raise it up when he needed a 5-minute break to visit the calm corner, and he was allowed to do that one time during the class. A similar “Break Card” was placed on his desk in Classrooms 2 and 3 as a mediating stimulus, but John was not provided with any instructions on how he could use the card to ask for a break.
