Schumaker, Jean B.; Ellis, Edwin S. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
Results suggested that LD adolescents do not automatically generalize recently learned social skills to novel role playing situations and the natural environment. Also, high performance in a novel role playing situation does not necessarily mean that a student will show a correspondingly high performance in the natural environment. (Author/SEW)

Hundert, Joel; Houghton, Anne – Exceptional Children, 1992
This study of 14 children (ages 3-5) with disabilities participating in the Classwide Social Skills Program found that the program increased subjects' positive play and levels of teacher reinforcement, but these increases did not generalize to 3-month or 6-month follow-up periods nor to another play session in the day.
