A comparison of group and individualized training methods was made by teaching 12 profoundly retarded men a series of imitative tasks under one of three program conditions. Each of the conditions was allotted 20 hours of training time from staff. The four members of the intact-group program received their 20 hours of instruction on a group basis. The four individual-program members had the training time divided between them and were taught separately. In a third program, the add-in group had the entry times of its membership staggered so that special attention could be given to each new member. The results indicated that the group programs were as effective as individual treatment for increasing imitative skills when staff time was held constant. Advantages of group programming were discussed in terms of increased activity and socialization for clients.
通过在三种项目条件之一的情况下，对12名重度智障男性进行一系列模仿任务教学，比较了集体训练和个别训练方法。每个条件都分配了工作人员20小时的训练时间。完整集体项目组的四名成员接受了20小时的集体教学。四个个别项目的成员分配了训练时间，并分别接受教学。在第三个项目中，加入组的成员进入时间错开，以便能特别关注每个新成员。结果表明，当工作人员时间保持不变时，集体项目在提高模仿技能方面与个别治疗同样有效。从增加服务对象的活动和社交方面讨论了集体项目的优势。
