Following the treatment the experimental Ss showed a significant increase in response time and made significantly fewer errors compared to a similar control group. Treatment effects were still evident one month after treatment terminated. (DB)

The research tested the hypothesis that in hyperactive (N=23) and normal (N=30) children from fifth and tenth grades, a cognitive modeling treatment procedure would produce improved scores on the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFF), a primary index of impulsivity. (Author)

The study examined the effectiveness of two psychoeducational treatment approaches and drug therapy on the impulsivity of 120 hyperactive emotionally disturbed children in two age groups (mean ages 13 and 8 years old). The psychoeducational approaches tested were modeling of reflective behavior and a specific instructional procedure to increase…

To ascertain whether impulsive responding in behavior disordered adolescents is amenable to change, 15-year-old normal and "acting-out" behavior disordered adolescents participated in an experiment designed to alter Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFF) scores through a modeling psychoeducational procedure. No significant…

Two experiments were implemented in which hyperactive children were exposed to models of their own age level. It was hypothesized that modeling treatments designed to demonstrate reflective problem-solving strategies would improve the problem-solving ability of both normal and hyperactive children, and that, concomicantly, children's ability to…
