Self-Control of Hyperactivity.
Watson, Daniel L.; Hall, Deborah L.
Evaluated with 86 children (grades 4 through 6) in both regular and special education classes were techniques for teaching children self control of hyperactivity in the regular educational setting. Ss were divided into three groups: control group; placebo-control group, receiving sensorimotor training; and the experimental group, receiving a combination of training in relaxation, biofeedback, and cognitive behavior modification. Pre and post evaluation was done on hyperactive behavior, physical performance, attention span, and muscle tension level. Results showed that the experimental group scored significantly higher on reading comprehension skills and reduced hyperactive behavior significantly more than the control groups. (Author/SBH)
