Chandler, Lynette K.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v25 n2 p415-28 Sum 1992

A retrospective review of 51 studies from 22 journals (1976 to 1990) concerning generalization of social skills training with preschool children was conducted. Strategies employed by the most successful studies were identified, such as addressing functional target behaviors; using prompts, positive reinforcement, and feedback strategies; and continuing intervention over a longer time period.
