Experimental analysis of generalization of arithmetic responses in division operations

Abstract

A study was conducted with sixteen subjects between dg/U and ten years of age, to experimental/y analyze response generalization in division operation, based o” training (instruction based on an exam pie plus feedback)— with tas/ss of dtfferent difficttlty levels. Subjects were asigned to four groups that had different phase sequences, in a mu/tiple base/inc design with five pitases. Tite resuits showed that there zoere differentdegrees of gener al iztion ita terms of: (a) response generalization whkh occurs sirnuitaneausiy with tite training given in a type of operation; (b) response genere/ir ation before training;A study was conducted with sixteen subjects between dg/U and ten years of age, to experimental/y analyze response generalization in division operation, based o” training (instruction based on an exam pie plus feedback)— with tas/ss of dtfferent difficttlty levels.
