Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incorporating common stimuli in training is a strategy for promoting generalization that involves using stimuli that are similar to those in the target situation to help children transfer the newly learned behavior to the natural environment. In this case, involving other children in the training sessions would provide a more realistic and similar setting to the target situation, promoting generalization. Options B, C, and D are all strategies for promoting generalization, but they do not directly relate to incorporating some aspect of the target situation in training.
