It was concluded from the date that satiation plays a determining role in the continued utilization of an acquired response while distraction is a primary determinant of acquisition rate. (Authors)

Children who observed a very generous adult model sharing, later shared more than those who observed a very stingy model. The effects of vicarious reinforcement on the amount shared, delivered by either the experimenter or the model alone, were also demonstrated. (Authors)

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects on 32 preschool children of being imitated and counterimitated (performing the opposite behavior) by an adult. (BRT)

The effects of magnitude of victim's pain cues, the subject's characteristic lead of aggressiveness, and the level of prior anger arousal on aggressive behavior was studied in the elementary school boys. (ST)

Study investigated the effects of a response-produced intense-noise stimulus (punishment) on the extinction of children's hitting behavior. (Author)

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)

Male school children of three age levels were tested on a 2-choice visual discrimination task that varied in spatial continguity of stimulus, response, and reward. Separation of stimulus from response and reward was found to retard learning. (WY)

Study attempts to clarify the attentional versus perceptual learning functions of presence of the discriminative stimuli during delay. (Authors)

Experiment studied the effectiveness of social reinforcement by a model who demonstrated varying degrees of commitment to the norm of giving or social responsibility. (Authors)

The results of this study indicate that induction combined with withdrawal of love is no more effective as a punishment technique for the development of at least one aspect of conscience--self-criticism--than withdrawal of material reward. (Authors)
