An almost totally blind, 26-year-old, retarded man whose rate of eye contact was below 30 percent in any time period was trained in his sheltered workshop environment. By employing auditory feedback and the opportunity to avoid break time, the client's eye contacts were increased to over 80 percent. After 10 months, the response had not only generalized to other people and places within the workshop, it also remained above the 74 percent level.
