Fading procedures and conditional discrimination in children1

Eugene S Gollin, Pamela Savoy
PMCID: PMC1338506  PMID: 5672252

Abstract

A discrimination reversal task followed by a conditional discrimination problem was administered to children (age range 36 to 107 months). A fading procedure was used during the discrimination reversal training of some subjects and other subjects were trained by a traditional procedure. More subjects trained by the fading procedure performed without errors during training and more subjects in the traditional group solved the conditional discrimination problem.
