Generalization Effects of Cognitive Strategies Conversation Training for Adults with Moderate to Severe Disabilities.
Mattie, Harold D.
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v36 n2 p178-87 Jun 2001

Results show that the participants generalized the conversation skills learned under the cognitive strategies condition and that the cognitive strategies training allowed more normalized social interaction to occur.
