Attentional Aspects of Classroom Behavior and Discrimination Learning.

Strand, Steve C.

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v12 n3 p229-41 1991

This study found that teachers' ratings of their 8 severely mentally handicapped pupils' (ages 9-18) classroom behavior were correlated with children's performance on a discrimination learning task. The factors of attention/distractibility and responsivity to consequences correlated significantly with number of errors and number of trials to criterion of a visual discrimination task.
