Abstract

Two studies concerning arithmetic problems in addition were effected with two six-year-old children. Each experiment consisted of the following phases: Multiple Base­ line me, Instruction plus Feedback, and two follow-up periods fifteen and thirty days after

the second phase. In Experiment 1 sums of two, three and four digit numbers were used which did or did not involve the operation of “canying “denaries from one column to the next. The results indicated that the effects of applying the experimental procedures to the addition of two digit numbers without carry ganeralized to the addition of three and four digit numbers without caray, maintaining a high level of accuracy in the follow-up phases. No changes were observed in the accuracy of adding two digit numbers with carry of denaries from one column to the next.

Experiment II was identical to the flrst with one exception: ah of the additions of two, three, four and five digit numbers requiered the ope.ration of canying denaries from one column to the next. The results show that the effects numbers of the procedures apphied to the addition of four digit numbers generahized to those of two, three and five digit numbers, maintaining a high level of accuracy in the fohlow-up phases.
