The effectiveness of specific dimensions of adult mediation on preschoolers' self-regulation of a model consultation strategy was evaluated using microcomputer puzzle tasks. Findings suggest that children's acquisition of the model consultation can improve over a short period of time with culturally mediated instruction. (Author/GLR)
