The errorless classroom: a success-focused, non-intrusive approach to intervention for severe behaviour
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Errorless acquiescence training (EAT) was used to improve the social skills of 8 children referred to a clinical classroom due to severe antisocial and oppositional behaviors. Prior to treatment, all 8 children evinced low levels of cooperation and high levels of antisocial behaviors. An errorless paradigm was used to teach children to tolerate and yield to the will and provocations of their peers without retaliation (i.e., acquiescence). Consistent with all errorless paradigms, key intervention components (i.e., instructions, prompts, reinforcements, and performance feedback) were systematically faded at a slow enough rate during treatment to ensure successful social interactions among peers. Throughout and following treatment, all 8 children demonstrated an increase in acquiescent responding, significant reductions in antisocial behaviors, and substantial improvements in prosocial verbal responding. The effects of EAT extended to improvements in prosocial physical responding and clean-up behaviors.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
