Operant Control Of Pathological Tongue Thrust, George A. Thompson Aug 1979

Operant Control Of Pathological Tongue Thrust, George A. Thompson

Masters Theses

Pathological tongue thrust (reverse swallowing) has been linked to malocclusion, articulation problems, difficulty in eating, and excessive drooling. Observable tongue thrust in a 10-year-old severely retarded male was modified during lunch using a contingent pushback procedure. Comparison of baseline and treatment data collected by the partial interval method showed a significant reduction in tongue thrust and food fallout and a substantial increase in observed chewing. Results indicated the possibility that an operant approach to treatment can be effective in the modification of this physiological response.

Olavus Petri's Polemic Against Monasticism: A Translation With Critical Notes, Margaret Mary King Aug 1979

Olavus Petri's Polemic Against Monasticism: A Translation With Critical Notes, Margaret Mary King

Masters Theses

Olavus Petri (1493-1522) is considered one of the primary figures of the Swedish Reformation during the reign of King Gustav Vasa (1523- 1560). Olavus Petri's polemical writings, dating from 1527 through 1528, are particularly significant in relation to the 1527 Recess and Ordinance of Vasteras which deprived the church of its substantial political and economic powers and privileges. The importance which the King and reformers attributed to control over and termination of the monastic and mendicant orders in Sweden is evidenced by Olavus Petri's treatise, En liten bok i vilken klosterleverne forklarat varder, printed November 13, 1528. This document, which …

Improving Customer Service In A Large Department Store Through The Use Of Training And Feedback, Mark G. Brown

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to increase the frequency of four specific customer-service behaviors in three full-time department store salespeople. Each related to the steps involved in a sales transaction, the behaviors recorded were: approaching and greeting customers, being courteous, and appropriately closing the sale. These four responses were defined as exceptional customer service behaviors. A training program had only a slight impact on improving service, but feedback produced a substantial improvement in the frequency of all four targeted customer-service behaviors Removal of feedback produced a small decline in performance; but the percentage of exceptional customer-service behaviors increased to …


Autocorrelation In Behavior Modification Data, Suzanne M. Girman Apr 1979

Autocorrelation In Behavior Modification Data, Suzanne M. Girman

Masters Theses

Many methodologists claim that autocorrelation in intra-subject designs is a pervasive and critical problem necessitating complex statistical analyses to determine the existence of an intervention effect. In this study, autocorrelation, coefficients were found for a large sample of graphed data in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. Results indicate that there is minimal, negative autocorrelation for most of the data analyzed (-.04). This result suggests the presence of autocorrelation in the intra-subject designs analyzed is of no practical significance, and thus is not the problem some methodologists have assumed it to be.
