Smeets, Paul M.; And Others – Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 1985
Three studies involving eight trainable mentally retarded students (11-16 years old) were interpreted as illustrating the ways in which variables influence stimulus overselectivity and the mechanisms that contribute to the obtained training effects. (CL)

McIlvane, William J.; Stoddard, Lawrence T. – Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 1985
Exclusion of stimuli involved in complex stimulus relations was examined in a severely retarded young man. The study systematically replicated and extended research on exclusion performance of low-functioning mentally retarded individuals and provided additional data on relational learning in this population.

Mackay, Harry A. – Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 1985
Programs were designed to teach three severely retarded adolescents to use individual anagram letters to construct the appropriate color words when shown color patches. After learning visual equivalences between colors and printed words, Ss demonstrated auditory reading-comprehension (matching printed words to dictated words) and oral reading…

Schneider, Howard C.; Salzberg, Charles L. – Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 1982
Two studies on stimulus overselectivity among three and four severely retarded adolescent males suggested that overselective responding occurs within a match-to-sample paradigm; its degree is influenced by delay intervals; it may be a failure to discriminate low preference dimensions of a multiple cue stimulus within specified situations; and it…

Stoddard, Lawrence T., Ed. – Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 1986
Ten author-contributed papers present information on stimulus control research and developmental disabilities. Articles address such isues as the role of naming, development of stimulus classes, control by exclusion, and comparison of trial-and-error and graduated stimulus change procedures. (CL)

Greer, R. Douglas; And Others – Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 1985
Two experiments were performed with five severely developmentally disabled individuals (13-26 years old) to test the relationship between toys as conditioned reinforcers and stereotypy. Findings suggested that conditioning reinforcers for play, such as toys, may result in a durable and possibly more cost effective procedure of dealing with…

Gersten, Russel M.; And Others – Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 1982
Four studies compared static versus dynamic presentations of examples and nonexaples of the concepts "diagonal" and "conves," with nonhandicapped preschoolers, mildly handicapped primary students, and severely handicapped adults. Ss taught with a dynamic presentation learned the discrimination in significantly fewer trials, with performance either…
