The high‐probability (high‐p) instructional sequence consists of the delivery of a series of high‐probability instructions immediately before delivery of a low‐probability or target instruction. It is commonly used to increase compliance in a variety of populations. Recent research has described variations of the high‐p instructional sequence and examined the conditions under which the sequence is most effective. This manuscript reviews the most recent research on the sequence and identifies directions for future research. Recommendations for practitioners regarding the use of the high‐p instructional sequence are also provided.
