Goldstein, Sondra Blevins; Siegel, Alexander W. – Child Development, 1971
Study found that stimulus presence during a delay of reinforcement interval enhanced performance, and to a large extent prevented the usual delay-produced decrement. (Authors)

Blair, John Raymond – Child Development, 1972
Results indicated that the normal achievers learned more effectively under person and performance reinforcement than under tangible reinforcement, whereas the reverse was true for low achievers. (Author)

Kamil, Michael L.; Rudegeair, Robert E. – Child Development, 1972
Two major implications of this study are that repeated testing is a necessity for young children, and that repeated contrasts may provide a more accurate assessment of phonological discrimination ability in children. (Authors/MB)

Brier, Norman; Jacobs, Paul I. – Child Development, 1972
A single administration of the reversal learning paradigm is not a sufficient basis for determining either a given subject's choice of option or his behavior on its constituent learning measures. This conclusion raises many questions about past research relating to mediation theory, since this paradigm has been the basic one employed. (Authors)
