According to the authors of Generalization of Auditory Sensory and Cognitive Learning in Typically Developing Children, most research has demonstrated learning of the trained task or even learning transfer to a closely related task. The trained task, in this case, is the student performing tasks in the classroom, if a teacher were to use either an auditory or a visual based teaching technique the student will be able to follow if the action is repeated. Having repetition will improve the likelihood of the student’s understanding of this
