The effects of a self-instructional training package on the on-task behavior of four adults with mental retardation employed in a sheltered workshop were investigated. The subjects chosen had been identified by their work supervisors as persons who exhibited a high incidence of off-task behavior. Results of the study indicated that on-task behavior increased substantially across all subjects following self-instruc-tional training, and that behavior generalized from the training setting to the actual work environment.
