Abstract
In this paper, conceptual and methodological issues within three phases of CBM interventions in academic skills are analyzed: Acquisition, evaluation, and generalization. The goal of such analysis is threefold: (1) To enhance understanding of observed problems, (2) clarify specific conceptual issues, and (3) highlight areas that need more conceptual clarification and more research.
