A Comparison Of Comprehension Of Rate Controlled Speech By Young Aphasic And Normal Children, Deborah Gomez
A Comparison Of Comprehension Of Rate Controlled Speech By Young Aphasic And Normal Children, Deborah Gomez
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
It is obvious that the effects of speaking rate on the ability of aphasic children to comprehend verbal material has not been extensively researched. The studies cited above suggest that an increase in rate adversely affects comprehension by various subjects, while a decrease in rate may improve comprehension by certain subjects. Therefore, the present study attempted to examine the effects of the rate at which an auditory stimulus is presented to aphasic and normal children.
The Effects Of Self-Reliance On The Successful Use Of Self-Reinforcement, Sandra L. Thomas
The Effects Of Self-Reliance On The Successful Use Of Self-Reinforcement, Sandra L. Thomas
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The present study was designed to examine the relationship between the success of self-reinforcement (as defined by its effectiveness in increasing a given response) and a specific aspect of positive self-esteem that would seem most clearly related to the effectiveness of self-reinforcement, valuing one’s own opinions and judgements highly. Self-esteem implies a positive feeling or attitude about oneself. One factor involved in the acquisition of this positive attitude is the level of the individual’s confidence in the legitimacy of his own opinions. The more confident a person is that his opinions are of value, the more likely it is he …

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In the present study, the effects of (a) unit-dose packaging to facilitate self-monitoring of medication-taking behavior and (b) positive verbal reinforcement to maintain the reactive effects of self-monitoring were evaluated in six psychiatric outpatients.
Increasing Compliance To A Medical Regimen With A Juvenile Diabetic, Kathleen Lowe
Increasing Compliance To A Medical Regimen With A Juvenile Diabetic, Kathleen Lowe
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Studies investigating the use of behavioral techniques in the treatment of health-related problems have recently received considerable emphasis. Problems such as enuresis (Atthowe, 1972; Nordquist, 1971), obesity (Stuart, 19137), alcoholism (Miller, 1972; Sobell and Sobell, 1973), chronic pain (Fordyce, Fowler, Lehman, and DeLateur, 1975·), and asthma (Neisworth, 1972; Renne and Creer. 1976) have been treated by the use of behavioral techniques. Katz and Zlutnick (1975) mention two critical areas in which behavior analysis is particularly applicable to health care: a) rehabilitation, and b) patient management. Rehabilitation involves learning behaviors related to specific physical disabilities, for example stroke patients relearning walking …
Establishing Imitative Behavior And Stimulus Control In Retarded Children Using Peer Trainers, Judith A. Viventi
Establishing Imitative Behavior And Stimulus Control In Retarded Children Using Peer Trainers, Judith A. Viventi
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Two severely retarded children were trained to serve as imitative learning trainers for two profoundly retarded children. Initially, one trainer reinforced the correct imitations of one trainee but not the other. A second trainer reinforced the correct imitations of a second trainee but not the first trainee. A multiple baseline _comparison revealed that initial training produced high rates of imitative responding to both the reinforcing and non-reinforcing trainers. .Generalization of initiative responding to both trainers in a new setting was also demonstrated. Stimulus control of imitative responding was achieved when the reinforcing and non-reinforcing trainers for each trainee reversed those …
Two Parallel Studies Investigating The Immediate And Longitudinal Attitude Values Of College Women Toward Elective Physical Activity, Rebecca Marie Lang
Two Parallel Studies Investigating The Immediate And Longitudinal Attitude Values Of College Women Toward Elective Physical Activity, Rebecca Marie Lang
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
This parallel investigation was conducted to survey and to determine the immediate and longitudinal attitude values in selected college women following participation in elective physical activity classes. The expressed attitudes were measured by a modified Carlos L. Wear Physical Education Attitude Inventory adapted for use in this present study by the investigator.
Four experimental groups were chosen according to the cluster sampling technique, representing two life-time sport course offerings of badminton and women's fitness. Seventeen women enrolled in the fall fitness class and fourteen women in the fall badminton classes, comprised the longitudinal sample for this study. The spring semester …
