Peer reviewedGrote, Irene; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1996
Three preschoolers performed four sorts with stimulus cards--an untaught target sort and three directly taught alternating sorts considered to self-instruct the target performance. Accuracy increased first in the skill sorts and then in the untaught target sorts. All subjects generalized to new target sorts. Correct spontaneous self-instructions…

Peer reviewedMcKinney, Warren C.; And Others – Theory and Research in Social Education, 1987
Describes an experimental study which investigated the relative efficacy of two types of concept nonexamples in preventing overgeneralization errors among first grade students (n=67). Results indicated that the group which received both coordinate and ordinary concept nonexamples scored significantly higher than the group which received only…

The effects of four methods of immediate corrective feedback delivered by computer within a question-based concept and rule learning setting were investigated in this study. A second purpose of the study was to probe the complex relationship between types of corrective feedback and the types of errors made by learners. One hundred and fifty-three…

Peer reviewedBengston, John K.; And Others – Studies in Art Education, 1978
Three experiments tested the application to art of an hypothesis from the concept attainment literature, that conceptual learning is enhanced by providing multiple examples prior to test trials. Subjects were given discrimination tasks involving surrealistic and non-surrealistic paintings. The feature abstraction model proved inadequate in this…

Park, Ok-choon – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1984
Describes the theoretical backgrounds and empirical findings of three experimental studies in which computer-based response-sensitive strategies were investigated using concept learning tasks. The strategy applied focused on discrimination learning, generalization learning, and classification skill development in concept learning. A general…

Peer reviewedSolomon, Joan – School Science Review, 1983
Discusses students' formation of concepts about energy, classifying responses as living/nonliving, human (vitalism or activity), and nonhuman (supply or demand). Observations were based on class discussions and free writing, followed by questioning to check on stability of concepts. Also collected and reported are student responses (examples of…
