title: Exclusion vs. selection training of auditory-visual conditional relations.
abstract: This study was conducted to assess the relative effectiveness of exclusion vs. selection (modified trial-and-error) training in establishing auditory-visual conditional relations. The study was conducted with children who had problems learning in school, but were otherwise normally intellectually capable. Single-subject methodology was used. Each child was exposed to the exclusion and selection conditions twice each in varied order. The exclusion-training procedure proved significantly more effective not only in teaching new auditory-visual conditional relations but also in generating emergent naming of the visual stimuli.
