Stereotypies (repetitive movements of any part of the body) and toy play by three severely retarded males (from 8 to 14 years of age) were recorded in a setting featuring a wide array of toys. (Author)

A short-term camping program promoted significant gains in behavior and in academic adjustment for children with social and school problems. Followup work was found essential to sustain the progress. (ST)

Using basic learning theory the S-R behaviorial approach to the formation of attitudes defines an attitude in terms of a conditioned anticipatory implicit response to a stimulus object. Described in this study is a model used to investigate observational learning of attitudes in a laboratory situation. (SM)

Although past experience may operate to produce an initial increase in undesired behaviors during behavior modification procedures, the data of the present study demonstrate that these behaviors will decrease if the model is not abandoned at the point when the behavior appears to be getting worse rather than better.

An experimental conditioning treatment was conducted with two stuttering preschool children. (Author)

Argues that behavior modification represents the use of a series of scientifically verified techniques that could be used to promote more effective learning of both social and academic subject matter.

Major purpose of the experiments was to use an instrumental response to study the form of semantic generalization gradients obtained following single-cue and discrimination training procedures. (Authors)

Results were consistent with an increased emotionality or frustration interpretation. (Author)

Non-verbal messages can be more convincing than verbal and can be used to predict patterns of future behavior. (Author/PD)
