The effects of social skill training on a 29 year-old mentally retarded male adult were explored. The subject listened to typical social situations (such as getting a compliment or saying thank you) on audiotape and discussed the situations with a therapist. The subject's positive social verbal interactions were counted before the training, at three times during the training period, and at three times after the training had been completed. All counts were taken by observing the subject at a evening recreation time in the subject's group home. Results show that positive interactions increased during the training period but then rapidly decreased after training had stopped.
