Abstract

The present study aimed to extend the findings of recombinative generalization research in alphabetical reading and spelling to the context of musical reading. One participant was taught to respond discriminatively to six two-note sequences, choosing the corresponding notation on the staff in the presence of each sequence. When novel three-and four-note sequences were presented, she selected the corresponding notation. These results suggest the generality of previous research to the context of musical teaching. (AU)
