Schmidt, John L. – Pointer, 1983
Resource teachers can help learning disabled students generalize skills to a mainstream setting with three types of procedures: transfer activities; self control procedures (in which a behavior contract is developed and contingencies for self reinforcement are specified); and cooperative planning (in which resource teachers and regular teachers…

Ellis, Edwin S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
The paper examines cognitive and metacognitive teaching practices in relation to theories of motivation, showing how and why they may inadvertently impede the learning disabled trainee's strategy of generalization. Ways for teachers to counteract such practices as well as implications for research needs are discussed. (Author/CL)

Gerber, Michael M. – Academic Therapy, 1984
Research on spelling performance of learning disabled students is reviewed and a case study cited to show that LD students can learn transferrable information about spelling through a procedure incorporating imitation, modeling, and practice. (CL)

Gelzheiser, Lynn M. – 1986
This report discusses four different types of instruction which enable learning disabled or low achieving students to learn well enough to transfer the skill to a novel situation. After asserting that generalization depends on systematic instruction, the paper describes the four procedures: (1) teacher-directed generalization; (2) direct…

Ellis, Edwin S.; And Others – Remedial and Special Education (RASE), 1987
Research based instructional procedures to facilitate generalization of learning strategies by remedial students are offered at four levels of generalization: antecedent, concurrent, subsequent, and independent. Within each level, specific procedures mediated by the special teacher, the regular teacher, peer, and/or student are illustrated.…

Schmidt, John L.; And Others – Journal of Reading, Writing, and Learning Disabilities International, 1989
The study designed and validated an instructional sequence to promote the generalization of learning strategies to improve written expression acquired in remedial settings to mainstream settings. The article delineates elements necessary to promote generalization of skills with learning disabled populations. (Author/DB)

Schworm, Ronald W.; Abelseth, Janet L. – Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, 1978
The authors purport that before teaching tasks to individuals with severe learning problems, it may be necessary to deliberately plan for and systematically evaluate the factors of selective attention, information feedback, retention, and generalization for each lesson. (Author/SBH)

Beckman, Pat; Weller, Carol – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
The article describes the Consolidated Method for Independent Learners (CMIL) which is based on schema theory and is designed to develop self efficacy, teach learning strategies, and foster generalization skills in learning-disabled and other handicapped children. (DB)

Borkowski, John G.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1988
Seventy-five learning-disabled students (10 to 14 years old) received instructions about summarization strategies and about personal causality that were designed to improve reading comprehension. Changes in antecedent attributions about personal causality were not usually altered by this program-specific attributional training, although…

Beirne-Smith, Mary – Academic Therapy, 1989
A five-step method for teaching notetaking skills in students with mild learning handicaps includes evaluating current performance, teaching preskills, teaching a notetaking system, providing for distributed practice, and providing for skill generalization. Additional practical suggestions for teachers are provided. (MSE)

Montague, Marjorie – Journal of Reading, Writing, and Learning Disabilities International, 1989
Research relevant to improving instruction for learning disabled students with mathematical problem solving deficits is reviewed. Using a cognitive-metacognitive framework, techniques for teaching both specific and comprehensive mathematical problem solving strategies as well as techniques to enhance strategy generalization are presented.…

Wong, Bernice Y. L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1994
This paper proposes for consideration by intervention researchers two instructional parameters that potentially can promote transfer of learned strategies in students with learning disabilities. The two parameters are mediating student mindfulness during strategy learning and at transfer and engaging in transfer-promoting instruction. (JDD)

Dixon, Robert C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1991
Three curricular approaches to spelling instruction are discussed: whole word; phonemic; and morphemic. Sameness analysis is used to indicate the theoretical potential of each approach for helping students with learning disabilities to achieve generalization in their spelling, and the influence of generalization upon retention and transfer is…

Deshler, Donald D.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1984
The first of two articles, featuring innovations and research on programs for learning disabled students in middle and high schools, reports expected goals and actual outcomes on intervention programs, identifies seven components for inclusion in a comprehensive intervention model, and focuses on the motivation, acquisition (of information), and…

Adelman, Howard S.; Taylor, Linda – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
Steps for enhancing skills and motivation for solving interpersonal problems are included. In addition, reference is made to planning intervention for learning disabled students. (Author/SEW)
