This research was undertaken in order to study a new application of the vicarious learning, and thereby ascertain whether subjects undergoing early stimulation would benefit from this type of learning. To this end we started out from a fundamental premise: participation by the parents in the training of their children. An experimental study was designed with two training groups. In the first the parents learned the training model vicariously from the clinician. In the second group the parents were taught through written instructions. The analyses of the results established statistically significant differences in gross motor and language in favour of the vicariously trained group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
