The Impact of Observational Learning on Preschoolers' Cooperation in an Ultrasound Swallowing Study

Stenger, Mary Jennifer

Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts, Miami University, Speech Pathology and Audiology.
The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of observational learning on preschoolers' cooperation when participating in an ultrasound swallowing study. More specifically, the study investigated whether a babydoll or "live" child model impacted preschooler cooperation. Nineteen preschoolers were recruited for this study and divided into groups based on modeling type. The results revealed that there was no difference between the groups of children participating in observational learning (babydoll and "live" child model) from those not participating in observational learning. However, despite the lack of statistical significance observed, the information obtained from this study will be beneficial for implementing a large scale study for this age group.
