Establishing a Difficult Discrimination through Time Delay: Some Critical Dimensions of Prompts.
Smeets, Paul M.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v45 n2 p280-302 Apr 1988
Three studies involving groups of four- to five-year-old children examined whether the discriminative properties of prompts are critical for establishing a difficult (septagon, octagon) discrimination through time delay. Results confirm superiority of multiple-stimulus, distinctive-feature prompts, implying that stimulus dimensions of prompts are critical when time delay is used in difficult discrimination. (RWB)
