Cumulative and Interspersal Task Sequencing in Self-Paced Training for Persons with Mild Handicaps.

Cuvo, Anthony J.; And Others

Mental Retardation, v29 n6 p335-42 Dec 1991

Twenty young adults with mild disabilities were taught savings account, bill paying, and money order skills using a self-paced workbook. The study found that both task-sequencing methods used (cumulative and interspersal) produced statistically significant and comparable improvements in performance, which were maintained at follow up.
