ABSTRACT
As mentioned above, clients often fail to complete homework at least partially due to forgetfulness. An assignment is designed in session, the client goes home for a week and forgets the assignment, and then returns the following session, perhaps remembering the assignment on the way to the appointment in the car. To a BA clinician, this is not an issue of laziness or lack of motivation to engage in therapyÐit is an issue of stimulus control. The question for the BA clinician when confronted with a problem of stimulus control is how to arrange the client's environment in such a way that it will evoke the target behavior. Technically, stimulus control interventions insert somewhat arti®cial prompts (discriminative stimuli) into the client's environment in the hopes of evoking the target behavior at a higher rate.
