Twenty-eight EMR children participated in an 8-week training program on choosing the best alternative. The training was presented within the context of small-group discussions of familiar social problems and participation in table games. A control group (n = 28) engaged in similar activities but without specific cognitive training. The experimental group's posttest scores were far superior (p is less than .001) to those of the control group, an finding that suggests a major experiential component in the deficit in problem-solving skills typical of EMR children and provides strong support for the efficacy of early intensive cognitive training.
28名教育可改进型（EMR）儿童参加了一个为期8周的关于选择最佳替代方案的训练项目。该训练是在关于常见社会问题的小组讨论以及参与桌游的背景下进行的。一个对照组（n = 28）参与了类似活动，但没有进行特定的认知训练。实验组的后测分数远高于（p小于0.001）对照组，这一发现表明，在EMR儿童典型的解决问题技能缺陷中存在一个主要的经验成分，并为早期强化认知训练的有效性提供了有力支持。
