The effects of high‐probability (high‐ p ) requests on compliance with low‐probability (low‐ p ) responses have received increased attention from applied investigators. This study examined the effects of a high‐ p procedure on a toddler's compliance with medical procedures. Compliance to low‐ p requests occurred more frequently following compliance to high‐ p requests, suggesting that this procedure may be useful across different topographies of compliance.
