Peer reviewedVan Laarhoven, Toni; Johnson, Jesse W.; Repp, Alan C.; Karsh, Kathryn G.; Lenz, Mark – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2003
Two studies compared the effectiveness of two procedures (multiple examples across trials and within trials) in teaching 10 students (ages 10-20) with moderate disabilities functional word discriminations. The first procedure was superior in acquisition; the latter procedure, however, was better under generalization for most participants.…
