Sullivan, Margaret W.; And Others – Child Development, 1979
Assesses the long-term retention of conditioned operant footkicks by three-month-old infants. Views a conditioning analysis as a logical means by which to bridge the gap between animal and adult human models of memory. (Author/RH)

Parker, Ronald K.; Rugel, Robert P. – Child Development, 1973
Eight- and 9-year-olds (N=56) were studied to determine the degree to which counterconditioning could alter the positive or negative value acquired by a neutral stimulus in a conditioning situation. Dependent measures used to assess the effects of conditioning were found to have no independent effect on subsequent evaluations of the once-neutral…

Gekoski, Marcy J.; Fagen, Jeffrey W. – Child Development, 1984
Results obtained from 27 infants ranging in age from 10 to 12 weeks indicated that infants develop expectancies regarding how stimuli occurring in particular contexts should behave based on their prior experiences with these stimuli. (Author/RH)

Ramey, Craig T.; Ourth, L. Lynn – Child Development, 1971
Results of this study indicate that learning occurred only under immediate reinforcement and that there was no developmental trend in the ability to withstand the detrimental effects of delayed reinforcement. (WY)

Fagen, Jeffrey W.; And Others – Child Development, 1987
Sixty-five infants (mean age of 111 days) who failed to complete a two-day operant-conditioning task were compared with a stratified random sample of those who did on measures of infant temperament and several demographic characteristics. A discriminant-function analysis was performed. (Author/BN)

Dunst, Carl J.; Lingerfelt, Barbara – Child Development, 1985
Relationship between maternal ratings of temperament and operant learning was examined in 18 2- to 3-month-old infants. Subjects participated in a conjugate reinforcement experiment; mothers of subjects completed the Carey and McDevitt Revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire 2 to 3 days before the learning study. Two temperament dimensions,…

Finkelstein, Neal W.; Ramey, Craig T. – Child Development, 1977
A sample of 34 infants participated in 3 experiments designed to determine whether experience with response-contingent stimulation would enhance an infant's subsequent learning performance. (Author/JMB)

Katz, Roger C. – Child Development, 1971
Study investigated the effects of a response-produced intense-noise stimulus (punishment) on the extinction of children's hitting behavior. (Author)

Paniagua, Freddy A.; Baer, Donald M. – Child Development, 1982
Three experiments analyze correspondence training as a chain of five events consisting of a promise, a series of behaviors leading from the promise to its nonverbal fulfillment (called "intermediate behavior"), a nonverbal behavior that fulfills the promise, a verbal report, and a nonverbal (or reported) behavior. Eight three- to…
