Teaching Self-Instruction Utilizing Multiple Exemplars to Produce Generalized Problem-Solving among Individuals with Severe Mental Retardation.

Hughes, Carolyn

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v97 n3 p302-14 Nov 1992

This study demonstrated that four adults with severe mental retardation could learn to use self-instruction in combination with multiple exemplars, could acquire the problem-solving strategy (responding to multiple exemplars and self-instructing) during training and generalize to untrained problem situations, and could exhibit response maintenance of generalized problem solving.
