Versus Trial

Although several investigators have used prompting and fading techniques to teach tasks with few or no errors, there has been disagreement about subsequent transfer and retention as compared with trial-and-error learning. Fourth grade students in an errorless fading condition learned a symbol discrimination task by a prompting and fading program in which relevant characteristics of the line drawings were emphasized. Another group learned the same discrimination by trial-and-error with right-and-wrong feedback. Findings indicated that percentage of errors was less for errorless fading than trial-and-error in initial learning but did not differ during transfer or retention. However, in terms of time, a history of prompting-fading learning did not transfer to trial-and-error learning as well as one of trial-and-error learning.
