Teaching Visual Attention in Functional Contexts: Acquisition and Generalization of Complex Visual Motor Skills.

Goetz, L.; Gee, K.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v81 n3 p115-17 Mar 1987

A 3-year-old (severely retarded and visually impaired) was trained in a program emphasizing functional, age-appropriate visual motor tasks requiring use of vision for successful task completion. Use of a repeated prompting procedure was successful in establishing visual attention, and generalization of visual attention to untrained tasks was observed. (Author/CB)
