Cates, Gary L. – Psychology in the Schools, 2005
This study investigated the functional relationship between student accurate response levels and two mathematics drill procedures using a BCBC across participant's single case research design (in this case, "B" represents peer drill and "C" represents computer drill). Each of four elementary school students was randomly assigned to one of two…
