Multiple measures of social behavior were obtained in order to (a) evaluate the effects of a systematic replication of a conversational interaction intervention, (b) identify critical target behaviors, (c) select participants likely to benefit from intervention, and (d) assess the social and experimental validity of the intervention. Combined measures (e.g., performance screening, assessing students' goals, behavioral ratings) corroborated the decision to introduce multiple-exemplar, self-instructional training to 4 students with moderate mental retardation who were observed to have limited soda! interaction with their peers at school. Findings indicated that the procedure was effective at increasing empirical indicators of participants' generalized conversational interaction and that behavioral change was validated socially by ratings of peers and important others.
