This study examines the use of common stimuli, "Fluency Man," paired with colored worksheets, on transferring the ability to fluently complete certain academic tasks. Four elementary students participated in daily rate-building sessions for academic skills. High rates of responding were reinforced in the presence of the common stimuli and later, rates of responding on those particular skills as well as related composite skills were obtained in other non-training settings. Results suggest that the ability to respond quickly and accurately did generalize for some of the participants to both training and non-training settings, and to a lesser extent, to untrained component skills. |
