Multiple-probe assessment during fading in the single-participant study. The article reports "Acceptance was variable ( M 5 75%), and mouth clean was low ( M 5 20%) during the first four cup probes," in contrast to high performance (99% and 100%) during the first five fading steps.

"Acceptance was variable ( M 5 75%), and mouth clean was low ( M 5 20%) during the first four cup probes."
