Priming and ASD implications

  • The findings support the idea that antecedent modifications are helpful in reducing problem behaviors for children with ASD
  • This is important because it shows that children on the spectrum can be included in mainstream settings
  • The priming sessions were effective because they were low-demand (high demand often leads to avoidance behavior)
  • The priming sessions were also effective because they involved reinforcement in more than one way-since there is a lot of reinforcement involved, the student doesn’t need to look to be reinforced outside of the academic task at hand-reinforcement encourages them to use the skills they learn again in another context
  • Priming might increase self-esteem because students will feel like they can do it
