Generalization with Precision: The Role of Negative Teaching Examples in the Instruction of Generalized Grocery Item Selection.

Horner, Robert H.; And Others

Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), v11 n4 p300-08 Win 1986

Six retarded young adults were trained to select grocery items using picture cards as cues and to reject either (1) maximally different negative examples or (2) minimally different negative examples. Training with minimally different negative examples was functionally related to improved rejection of nontrained negative items in a nontrained store. (Author/JW)
