Peer reviewedWoolcock, William W.; And Others – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1987
The study found that simulation instruction on two representative teaching examples for each of two job task sequences resulted in concurrent generalized performance by four severely retarded adults. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedEpps, Susan; And Others – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1990
The study evaluated two simulation methods (either on-self or using a doll) of general case instruction in teaching menstrual care to four severely/profoundly retarded adolescents and women. Results indicated limited generalization after training using a doll, high levels of generalized responding following on-self instruction, but decreased…

Peer reviewedDomaracki, Joseph W.; Lyon, Steven R. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1992
This study, which involved training four young adults with moderate or severe mental retardation on housekeeping and janitorial work skills, found that simulation instruction based on general case methodology can be used to teach complex sequences, that naturalistic instruction seemed more efficient than simulation instruction, and that neither…
