During training, a behavior analyst used a dull butter knife to teach a developmentally
delayed adult, Marie, how to identify utensils and to eat appropriately instead of with her
hands. After many sessions and stable responding, the behavior analyst took Marie to a
restaurant to see if her learned behavior would generalize to other settings. At the
restaurant, a steak knife was presented on the table, which had a different form and shape ofthe knife used during training. With an absence of any prompts from the behavior analyst,
Marie pointed to the steak knife and said, “Knife”! Her behavior analyst praised Marie for
identifying the utensil. When Marie’s steak came to the table, she picked up a fork and the
steak knife and ate independently, using both utensils.
