The Negative Effects of Positive Reinforcement in Teaching Children with Developmental Delay.
Biederman, Gerald B.; And Others
Exceptional Children, v60 n5 p458-65 Mar-Apr 1994
This study compared the performance of 12 children (ages 4 to 10) with developmental delay, each trained in 2 tasks, one through interactive modeling (with or without verbal reinforcement) and the other through passive modeling. Results showed that passive modeling produced better rated performance than interactive modeling and that verbal reinforcement was counterproductive. (DB)
