Hughes, Carolyn; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1996
Effects of an intervention that combined self-instruction with multiple exemplar training on the generalized problem solving of five high school students with mental retardation were examined. The intervention involved preteaching self-instruction to proficiency with one exemplar before introducing multiple exemplars and embedding problem…

Two adults (ages 37 and 57) with severe mental retardation in a supported employment setting (a janatorial supply company) were taught to use self-instruction in combination with multiple exemplar training to solve work-related problems. The combined strategy resulted in generalization to nontrained problems.The use of the strategy to promote…

Peer reviewedHughes, Carolyn; Rusch, Frank R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1989
Two individuals with severe mental retardation, participants in a supported employment program, were taught to use self-instruction in combination with multiple exemplar training to solve work-related problems. Use of the combined strategy resulted in generalization of self-instruction statements and correct responses to untrained problem…

Hughes, Carolyn – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1992
This study demonstrated that four adults with severe mental retardation could learn to use self-instruction in combination with multiple exemplars, could acquire the problem-solving strategy (responding to multiple exemplars and self-instructing) during training and generalize to untrained problem situations, and could exhibit response maintenance…
