N2  - This paper examines the effect of two types of prompts in eliciting a zero-or low-probability behavior in three Chicano gang members. The target behavior consisted of a chain of responses terminating in the publication of writing and art work in a community newsletter. A general prompt was ineffective, but subject-specific prompts elicited a total of 38 pages of work. The relevance of this study for behavior therapy with similar subjects is discussed. The advantages and special problems of research in the natural environment are discussed, with attention to setting events, which were monitored and used to explain some unexpected findings.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
