To assess the participants' biases, we used the General Capabilities Scale, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-2, and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Stigma. To do this, the study examined the impact of error-correction strategies on bias amongst nine adult participants. The introduction of all three error-correction procedures resulted in an increase in the knowledge each of the participants had about the 12 different categories of disabilities and disorders that were presented to them. This study concluded by discovering that the use of the error correction of repetitive responses yielded no more effectiveness than any other error correction procedures.
