Generalization as a Function of a Preschool Peer-Tutor's Presence: Facilitation or Distraction?

Kalfus, Grace R.; Stokes, Trevor F.

Educational Research Quarterly, v11 n3 p26-36 1986-87

The effectiveness of a preschool peer-tutor to facilitate generalization of two preschoolers' performance on two academic tasks was evaluated. The peer-tutor apparently acted as a distracter rather than a facilitator; on some occasions time to complete a discrimination task was greatly lengthened by the presence of the peer-tutor. (SLD)
