An Examination of Two Techniques for Promoting Response Generalization of Early Literacy Skills

摘要

This study examined the application of two generalization proceduresdesigned to promote generalized responding across two early literacy skills. Lettersound fluency was targeted using direct intervention for three subjects within amultiple baseline design. After instruction was complete, two generalization pro-cedures (cueing and providing sufficient response exemplars) were tested in anincreasingly intense application of the procedures to determine whether sufficientlevels of response generalization to letter sound blending could be programmed.Results indicated that although some subjects demonstrated minor levels ofunprogrammed or spontaneous generalization, more complete levels of general-ization were accomplished only once generalization techniques were employed.
