    This study shows that training a typical toddler as a peer model effectively teaches imitation skills to young children with developmental delays. The peer-modeling approach facilitated generalization of learned behaviors in new settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Behavioral Analysis

    Background:

    • Children with developmental delays often require specialized interventions to acquire social and cognitive skills.
    • Peer-mediated interventions are increasingly recognized for their effectiveness in promoting learning in young children.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a systematic teaching procedure to establish a typically developing toddler as a peer-model for children with developmental delays.
    • To assess the effectiveness of peer-imitation training in promoting imitative responding and generalization in delayed children.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed a within-subjects multiple-baseline design across responses.
    • Utilized adult-directed prompting and social reinforcement contingent on imitation of peer-model behaviors.
    • Assessed stimulus and response generalization in a naturalistic setting without adult prompting.

    Main Results:

    • The peer-modeling intervention successfully established stimulus control over imitative responding in children with developmental delays.
    • Training demonstrated significant generalization of learned behaviors across different stimuli and situations.
    • The peer-model's behavior effectively served as a discriminative stimulus for imitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Peer-imitation training is a viable and effective strategy for teaching imitative skills to young children with developmental delays.
    • The findings support the use of peer-modeling in educational programming for developmentally delayed children.
    • The study highlights the potential for generalization of learned skills in naturalistic settings.
