Aptitude by Treatment Interactions in Computer-Assisted Word Learning by Mentally Retarded Students.
Conners, Frances A. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
The investigation of interactions between the abilities of stimulus discrimination and simple learning and two instructional variables (discrimination difficulty and degree of overlearning) with 27 mentally retarded adolescents found an interaction between stimulus discrimination and the number of words presented at one time for learning…

Peer reviewedHoko, J. Aaron; LeBlanc, Judith M. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1988
Because disabled learners may profit from procedures using gradual stimulus change, this study utilized a microcomputer to investigate the effectiveness of stimulus equalization, an error reduction procedure involving an abrupt but temporary reduction of dimensional complexity. The procedure was found to be generally effective and implications for…
