Teaching young adults with a developmental disability to keep score while playing cornhole.

Behavior Analysis: Research and Practice, Vol 25(1), Feb 2025, 1-13; doi:10.1037/bar0000299

Regularly engaging in leisure activity has many benefits, but many young adults with a developmental disability fail to do so. Cornhole (or bag toss) is a common leisure activity that is active, social, simple, and widely available. We used a treatment package comprising feedback and corrective modeling to teach seven young adults with developmental disability how to use cancellation scoring with a phone application. The five participants who completed the study quickly mastered cancellation scoring and the two participants who left early showed substantial increases in scoring accuracy when exposed to the intervention. Knowing how to keep score should make playing cornhole more pleasurable and increase the likelihood of playing regularly. Participants who completed the present study enjoyed participating in it and indicated they were very likely to play cornhole in the future.
