This study examined a multiple-component training procedure (MCTP) designed to rapidly teach a 2-choice auditory-visual discrimination to 4 developmentally disabled Ss (aged 24-42 yrs) who had failed level 6 of the ABLA test. Each of 3 Ss was first exposed to a baseline training procedure consisting of standard prompting and reinforcement, followed by MCTP. During baseline training, the Ss performed at chance levels and failed to meet the learning criterion of 8 consecutive correct responses after 170, 195, and 172 trials, respectively. After exposure to the MCTP, all Ss met the learning criterion in 21, 82 and 23 trials, respectively. To demonstrate that the MCTP alone could result in rapid learning without it being preceded by baseline training, a 4th S received MCTP only and met the training criterion in 20 trials. However, only 2 of the 4 Ss were able to pass ABLA level 6 following training. These results indicate that a level 6 analogue task can be rapidly taught using an MCTP, but further research is needed concerning strategies to facilitate generalization to ABLA level 6.
