- Title
TRAINING CHILDREN TO COMMUNICATE TO LISTENERS.
- Abstract
12-year-old Ss were trained by allowing them to practice communicating with peers. Training required speakers to direct listeners to make appropriate discriminations from picture series. 3 16-S training groups, respectively, practiced the role of speaker, listener, or both speaker and listener. Trained Ss' communication improvements were compared with I6 untrained Ss. Training improved communications in tests like the training materials, as Ss learned to be more brief and to the point. Brevity seemed to generalize to less similar communication tests where it was not necessarily appropriate. Ss who practiced as both speaker and listener improved no more than those restricted to either role.
