Exhancing Instructional Efficiency: An Examination of Time Delay and the Opportunity to Observe Instruction.

McCurdy, Barry L.; And Others

Education and Treatment of Children, v13 n3 p226-38 Aug 1990

A progressive time-delay and a trial-and-error strategy were compared in teaching sight word acquisition to two children with severe behavior disorders. Observational learning was also studied. Results found direct and observed instruction both effective, and progressive time delay somewhat more effective than trial and error. (Author/PB)
