This case study describes initially unsuccessful attempts to use the delayed‐cue procedure to teach conditional discriminations to an individual with moderate mental retardation. The task was matching printed‐word comparison stimuli to dictated‐name sample stimuli. In three experiments, the subject typically waited for the delayed cue unless differential responses to the dictated samples (repeating the sample names) were required. Hence, the study provides an example of a way to make the delayed‐cue method more effective. The stimulus control bases for the results are discussed.
