[Retracted] An Intervention Study on Children’s Healthy Joint Attention Skills Based on a Mixed Instructional Approach of DTT and PRT

Table 2

DTT teaching system prompt level table.

Children’s behavior	Prompt level used	Example
Early learning; No target behavior at all	6: combining language and whole body tips	The child took away the toys on the table. The teacher held the child’s toy hand up to his eyes and said, “show it to me.”
Slightly partial target behavior	5: combining language and some body tips	The child picked up the toy and stretched it in the direction of the teacher but did not raise it. The teacher gently pushed the child’s hand to remind him to raise it to his eyes and said, “show it to me.”
In the middle of learning, the strength of using some body tips becomes smaller. Children seem to understand that the teacher requires them to perform a certain action first after they get the toy	4: language prompt accompanying demonstration	When the teacher touches the child’s elbow, he can lift it up to his eyes. The teacher also lifts the toy up to the child’s eyes and says, “you see, I have this (toy).”
	3: special language tips	When the teacher touches the child’s elbow, he can lift it up to his eyes. When the child picks it up and extends it to the teacher, he says to the child, “show it to me.”
At the later stage of learning, children can stably show target behavior under the hint of level 3	2: general language tips	When the children got the toys on the table, the teacher said, “what did you get?”
Children can stably show target behavior under the hint of level 2	1: unguided physical space tips	When the child gets the toy on the table, the teacher puts his face forward to remind the child to raise it for others to see.
