Fortner, Virginia L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1986
The study investigated whether 25 intermediate grade learning disabled students would generalize creativity training to increased competence on a spontaneous writing task. Following creativity training, including such activities as nonjudgmental brainstorming, the experimental group's writing significantly improved in number of thought units,…

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.

Myles-Worsley, Mariana; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1986
Examines children's memory for preschool routines as a function of current grade level and successive modifications in the school-day script. First, children in preschool through third grade were tested, then children in kindergarten through third grade. Results showed a process of generalization for preschool scripts over time.

Williams, George E.; Cuvo, Anthony J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1986
Six severely handicapped clients were taught to perform upkeep responses on their air conditioner-heating unit, electric range, refrigerator, and electrical appliances. Results showed acquisition, long-term maintenance, and generalization of upkeep skills to a nontraining apartment. General task analyses were recommended for assessment and…

LaGrow, Steven; Matson, Johnny L. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1984
A study involving two college students with visual impairments which made them incapable of accommodating visually revealed that Ss improved recognition efficiency with feedback but did not generalize the efficiency from trained to untrained stimuli of similar complexity. (CL)

Leal, Linda; And Others – Child Development, 1985
Third-grade children were taught efficient use of a self-monitoring strategy in preparing for recall. One group was trained on both free and serial recall; others on only one of the two tasks. A posttest was given one week after training, and a follow-up test of some children was given nine months later. (Author/BE)

Pratt, Michael W.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Demonstrates a training technique for improving the referential performance of young children and for obtaining generalization of this training. Findings on generalization suggest that further investigation should reveal practical applications of the method for the classroom and clinic. (RH)

Warren, Steven F.; Rogers-Warren, Ann K. – Journal of the Association for People with Severe Handicaps (JASH), 1983
A longitudinal study of generalized effects of a language training program on the structural aspects of six severely retarded institutionalized adolescents' productive language revealed a strong relationship between the length of the trained forms and generalization. This effect was related to Ss' mean length of utterance. (Author/CL)

Nietupski, John; And Others – Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 1983
The paper examines research on recreation/leisure skills with moderately, severely, and profoundly mentally retarded persons. Studies are considered in four areas: antecedents that promote involvement with play materials, antecedent and consequent intervention strategies, task analysis efforts, and recreation/leisure skill maintenance and/or…

Love, Joan M.; Van Biervliet, Alan – Exceptional Child, 1984
The study examined the effectiveness of a procedure for teaching parents of four mildly retarded children (8-10 years old) to be home reading tutors and generalization of the skills to school. Substantial increases in targeted tutor behaviors and corresponding improvements in child reading behaviors were observed. (Author/CL)

Schumaker, Jean B.; Hazel, J. Stephen – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1984
The authors review research on techniques to change social behavior, ranging from relatively simple manipulations of antecedent and consequent conditions to complex instructional "packages" involving didactic, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback procedures and examine issues involved in generalization of social skills training as well as ethical…

Wacker, David P.; Berg, Wendy K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1983
Results of the study involving five moderately/severely retarded adolescents indicated that picture prompts can be successully used to promote both acquisition and generalization of performance, and the subsequent training time on a novel task was reduced when the use of picture prompts had been previously trained.

Duker, Pieter C.; Morsink, Herman – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1984
The study assessed effects of a transfer of stimulus control procedure on acquisition and cross-setting generalization of manual signs with four profoundly retarded young adults. Results showed that individuals acquired the trained signs and maintenance and generalization across settings and persons occurred but was highly variable between and…

Kelly, W. J.; And Others – Behavioral Disorders, 1983
The addition of self-monitoring to a social skill training program involving verbal training and role playing resulted in rapid generalization of appropriate responses to a supervision's instructions by behaviorally disordered adolescents in vocational classes. (Author/CL)
