Konabe Bene; Devender R. Banda; Donna Brown – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
We conducted a meta-analysis of 13 instructional arrangement studies that were conducted with children with autism spectrum disorders to improve academic and social communication skills and behavior. Results across the studies indicate that peer-mediated instructional arrangement is a robust method for teaching and improving various academic and…

Soodak, Leslie C. – 1987
The study explored the organization of mentally retarded individuals' event knowledge and the relationship between social knowledge and performance in naturally occurring events. Twenty mentally retarded adults and 20 nonretarded preschoolers were asked to sequence photographs of events depicted in familiar and novel contexts. Preschoolers were…

Schloss, Patrick J.; Schloss, Cynthia N. – Journal of Special Education, 1985
The paper reviews limitations in social skills research with mentally retarded persons, noting problems in conceptual development, validation of social skills objectives, and generalization. The most serious limitation identified is the failure to demonstrate that community integration and adjustment can be enhanced through training. (CL)

Schloss, Patrick J.; And Others – Behavioral Disorders, 1986
Among results of the research review on strategies to enhance social skills of behaviorally disordered students were that a conceptual base for research is lacking, that training priorities have not been matched to learner needs, and that investigators have often failed to evaluate generalization of effects to nontraining settings.

Doyle, Patrick J.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1989
The effects of a generalization training procedure on requesting by four adult subjects with Broca's aphasia were examined. Results revealed that generalization effects were greatest when trainers, as opposed to unfamiliar volunteers, served as conversational participants. Subjects' requests increased to a level comparable to a normal comparison…

Brown, William H.; Odom, Samuel L. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1994
This research review concerning intervention to improve young children's social behavior and strategies for promoting generalization and maintenance of young children's social responding focuses on taking advantage of natural communities of reinforcement, training diversely, and incorporating functional mediators. Implications for interventionists…

Krantz, Patricia J.; McClannahan, Lynn E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1993
A script fading procedure was effectively used to teach 4 children (ages 9 and 12) with autism to initiate interactions with peers. Increased initiations (to within normal levels) generalized to a different setting, and for three of the children were maintained at two-month follow-up. (Author/DB)

Misra, Anjali – Exceptional Children, 1992
Three adult subjects with mild mental retardation were trained in individualized social skills and then taught to self-monitor their behavior, initially using a self-monitoring device. Self-monitoring assisted in generalization of trained social skills across settings and people; however, maintenance results were variable. (Author/DB)

Hunt, Pam; And Others – Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), 1990
Three high-school students with severe disabilities were taught to initiate and maintain a conversation independently across a variety of school settings with nonhandicapped students as communication partners. The conversation initiation and "turntaking" skills generalized to conversation opportunities in other settings and with other…

McConnell, Scott R.; And Others – Journal of Special Education, 1991
The effects of social interaction skill interventions on the social behavior of four preschool children with behavioral handicaps were evaluated. Findings indicated unique effects for social skills training and contingency management intervention. Results are discussed in relation to the role of reciprocal interaction and behavioral trapping for…

Mathur, Sarup R.; Rutherford, Robert B., Jr. – Behavioral Disorders, 1996
This paper identifies factors possibly influencing long-term effectiveness of social skills training with students having emotional or behavioral disorders. These include: lack of a sound conceptual framework, questionable social validity of target skills, controversies surrounding the nature of social skills deficits, imprecise assessment…

Morgan, Robert L.; Salzberg, Charles L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1992
Two studies investigating effects of video-assisted training on employment-related social skills of three adults with severe mental retardation found that participants discriminated the target behavior on video, but effects did not generalize to the work setting for two participants until they rehearsed the behavior.

Davis, Carol Ann; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
High-probability requests were used to increase responsiveness to low-probability requests to initiate social interactions in three young boys with severe disabilities who were severely socially withdrawn. Increases were also found in unprompted social initiations and generalizations to a nontraining setting. Maintenance after training was also…

Sikka, Anjoo; Tedder, Norma – 1990
This paper describes the planning of a qualitative research methodology to develop strategies to improve and expand social interaction skills of deaf-blind students in supported employment settings. Characteristics of qualitative research are delineated and include: definition of the domain of the research; an evolving study design; behavior…

Coleman, Margaret; And Others – Remedial and Special Education (RASE), 1993
A review of nine studies on the efficacy of metacognitive interpersonal problem-solving training with students who have learning and behavior problems found demonstrated cognitive gains but less success in demonstrating that such gains were subsequently applied to actual behavior or generalized to other social behavior.
