Abstract

This study investigated the importance of production rate of mentally retarded clients as an influencing factor in their employment success. In Experiment I, the production rates of 10 pairs of clients (10 successful and 10 unsuccessful) were compared. Experiment 11 involved increasing the production rate of previously unsuccessful clients and decreasing the production rate of successful clients. The results of this study suggest that production rate was important to successful employment and was sensitive to modification procedures.
