Reactive Effects of Self-Assessment and Self-Recording on Attention to Task and Academic Productivity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lloyd, John; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
The effects of self-assessment and self-recording were compared as treatments for increasing on-task behavior and academic productivity of elementary school learning disabled students (9-10 years old). Self- recording appears to be a more effective procedure than self-assessment for increasing attention to task. (Author/SEW)

Self-Graphing of On-Task Behavior: Enhancing the Reactive Effects of Self-Monitoring on On-Task Behavior and Academic Performance.

DiGangi, Samuel A.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1991
Two students (ages 10-11) with learning disabilities exhibited improved on-task behavior and academic performance during self-monitoring procedures, with additional increases resulting from self-graphing procedures. However, little improvement in on-task behavior and academic productivity was noted with the introduction of self-reinforcement and…
