Generalization of the Monterey Behavioral Sciences Institute operant language program was assessed. Six male and three female children (4 years, 4 months to 6 years, 3 months) receiving language remediation were randomly assigned to (I) the Monterey program for the syntactic structure "is interrogative" (including the home carryover phase) plus an extended transfer program devised by the investigators (II) the Monterey "is interrogative" program alone (including the home carryover), or (III) a control activity (articulation training). Language samples evoked by a variety of language tasks were collected outside the treatment settling preceding and following treatment. Standard within-clinic measures indicated that groups I and II improved a significant, equal amount. However, the extraclinic language measures showed that group I demonstrated significantly greater improvement than group II; neither group II nor group III showed significant extraclinic improvement. Extraclinic generalization occurred, therefore, only for the group receiving the special extended transfer training.
对蒙特雷行为科学研究所操作性语言项目的泛化进行了评估。六名男孩和三名女孩（4岁4个月至6岁3个月）正在接受语言矫正，他们被随机分配到：（I）针对句法结构“是疑问句”的蒙特雷项目（包括家庭延续阶段），再加上研究人员设计的扩展迁移项目；（II）仅蒙特雷“是疑问句”项目（包括家庭延续阶段）；或者（III）一项对照活动（发音训练）。在治疗前后，在治疗环境之外收集了由各种语言任务引发的语言样本。标准的诊所内测量表明，第一组和第二组有显著且相等程度的改善。然而，诊所外语言测量表明，第一组的改善明显大于第二组；第二组和第三组在诊所外均未显示出显著改善。因此，只有接受特殊扩展迁移训练的组出现了诊所外泛化。
