Predictions were made by (1) experienced teachers who had worked with the clients for a minimum of 8 mo and (2) experienced teachers who did not know the clients personally but who interacted with them for 30 min and by (3) consideration of client performance on the Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities test (N. Kerr et al, 1977). To teach each task to a pass or fail criterion, standard training procedures were applied. The Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities test was significantly more accurate for predicting client performance than was either group of experienced staff. Implications for decreasing the high cost of unproductive training time were discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved) %@ 0895-8017
