AB - Reports an error in the original article by B. J. Zimmerman and J. A. Bell (Developmental Psychology, 1972[Nov], Vol 7[3], 227-231). A minor correction for the Table 1 entry on page 229 is provided.  Studied the effects of observer verbalization on the vicarious learning of an abstract or an associative conceptual rule with 84 5th graders as Ss. Ss who passively observed an adult female model perform evinced significantly more acquisition of either rule studied than Ss who actively described the model's behavior or were engaged in irrelevant counting during observational learning. The latter 2 groups displayed statistically indistinguishable levels of rule acquisition. Ss who were exposed to the abstract rule demonstrated significantly more generalization and retention than Ss who learned the associative rule. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed in terms of an interference hypothesis.
