This study investigated the efficacy of covert other modeling, covert self‐modeling, and written material on the acquisition of a counseling strategy that involved developing goals. Thirty‐six student counselors were assigned randomly to the following four treatment conditions: covert other model, covert self‐model, written material, and delayed‐treatment control. Written pretest, posttest, retention test measures, and role‐play pre‐ and posttest measures were obtained. A repeated measures ANOVA revealed that performance on the written measures for the three treatment groups increased significantly from pre‐ to post‐ testing and from pre‐ to retention testing. On the role‐play measure, the performance of the three treatment groups also increased significantly from pre‐ to posttesting. The performance of the control group on pre‐ and posttesting for the written and role‐play measures did not increase significantly
