So as to compare the results of the WISC and WISC-R, instruments were administered to 58 children. All IQs were significantly higher on the WISC, with the Performance difference being greater than the verbal difference. Regression equations were obtained to predict WISC-R IQs from WISC scores. (Author)

Investigated the relationship between applied behavioral training and reinforcement preferences of classroom teachers. Data obtained from the Positive Reinforcement Observation Schedule, a paired comparison task, indicated minimal differential reinforcement preferences for classroom teachers with no training, limited training, or extensive…

The purpose of the study was to examine effects of social development programs on role-taking, problem-solving skills, and classroom adjustment. The results indicated that the children in the experimental group gained in respect for others, ability to generate alternatives to problem situations, creative expression, patience, and self-reliance.…

An experimental study was undertaken with 120 educable mentally retarded students to examine the effect on performance of three types of test item response reinforcers (token, verbal praise, verbal neutral), and two levels of reinforcement schedule (fixed and continuous ratio). (Author)
