Description
Summary:This study assessed whether four adults with multiple disabilities would successfully acquire cooperative task performance (the ability to work in dyads) and would prefer this over individual task performance. Analysis indicated that the dyads reached levels of correct responding identical to those displayed on individual performance. Moreover, all four participants preferred the cooperative performance. These findings, which match those of a prior pilot work by Lancioni, O'Reilly, and Oliva, were discussed in terms of their practical implications for rehabilitation and occupational contexts.
