Once a learner is consistently imitating the model/gestural prompt on the first trial, begin to transfer control from the model/gestural prompt to the item presence: � Model the sign and wait up to 3 seconds for the learner to imitate � If the learner imitates your model prompt, DO NOT immediately deliver the reinforcer; rather, wait up to 3 seconds for the learner to mand again independently � If the learner mands independently within the 3 seconds, immediately deliver the reinforcer � If the learner has not manded by the end of the 3 seconds, model the sign and, after the learner imitates, deliver a small amount of the reinforcer Note: the item name should be said repeatedly throughout this procedure VIDEO-1 VIDEO-2 TEACHING PROCEDURE: SIGN MANDING 4. Once a learner is consistently manding under the control of the item, begin to transfer control from the item presence to motivational control: � After the learner has declared motivation, wait up to 3 seconds for the mand under the control of the item presence � If the learner mands under the control of the item, DO NOT immediately deliver the reinforcer; rather, remove the item from sight and wait up to 3 seconds for the learner to mand under motivational control � If the learner mands in the absence of the item within the 3 seconds, immediately deliver the reinforcer � If the learner has not manded by the end of the 3 seconds, return the item to sight, wait up to 3 seconds for the learner to mand, and then deliver a small amount of the reinforcer Note: the item name should be said repeatedly throughout this procedure Dower and Associates, Inc. 2010 8
