Coin Identification and Relative Value: A Training Programme for Adults with Mental Handicap

Abstract

The five participants in this study were adult long-term residents of institutions for people with mental handicap who had only rudimentary numerical and monetary skills. All were successfully trained, using methods based on “errorless stimulus fading” techniques within a multiple-baseline experimental design, to recognize the seven British coin types and to judge their relative value. Recognition training incidentally resulted in ability to name the coins. Training at each skill required four to seven sessions of up to 20 minutes each, at intervals of 24 hours or more. Performance remained accurate at three-week and six-month follow-up. In four out of five subjects, improvement at recognition could be attributed specifically to the training sequence.
