Perry, Raymond P.; And Others – 1981
Observational learning is an extremely efficient, rapid training technique for the acquisition of complex behavior patterns in social situation. A modified observational learning (MOL) procedure was developed combining both modeling and microteaching techniques, with the observer serving as the model. The more similar the observer is to the model,…

Zimmerman, Barry J. – 1974
The effects of modeling and corrective feedback on the conservation of equalities and inequalities were studied with items spanning three stimulus dimensions (length, number, and two-dimensional space). Observation of a model, correction training (joining positive feedback with verbal rule provision), and the combination of observation and…

Endo, George Takashi – 1973
Two environmental learning conditions based on generative linguistics were tested to determine whether they could induce in children (in grades 1-3) the acquisition of the rules of metaphors and the subsequent generation of metaphors based on the acquired rules. The first modeling condition (MC-1) emphasized the verbal-interaction effect: the…
