TABLE 2.

Summary of blocked and orthogonal results based on the criterion cut-off of 10 % mean generalization accuracy in coding yes/no generalization (Elbert et al., 1984), the rank procedure for replicated AB design (Marascuilo & Serlin, 1988), and effect size for single-subject design (Beeson & Robey, 2006)

n=Number of factors evidencing positive gain; N=Number of possible factors examined for positive gain (i.e. number of subject × treated and untreated sounds from the same and different manner classes; see Morrisette & Gierut, 2002: 150).

Inadequate power due to the number of factors evidencing positive gain by children enrolled in these conditions.
