Movement Training: When Trainer Initiated Reinforcement and Self-Monitoring Are Not Enough.

Browder, Diane M.; And Others

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v9 n4 p363-72 1986

In a study designed to improve vocational productivity in five moderately/severely retarded adults, reinforcement and self-monitoring were compared to self-monitoring with movement training (prompting the most efficient task performance movement). Four subjects responded minimally to trainer-initiated reinforcement or self-monitoring but showed improvement with movement training. (Author/JW)
