Effects Of A Multiple Schedule Of Collective Reinforcement On Shaping The Cultivative Response Rate Of Three-Man Teams, David D. Burnstein
Effects Of A Multiple Schedule Of Collective Reinforcement On Shaping The Cultivative Response Rate Of Three-Man Teams, David D. Burnstein
Psychology ETDs
The principle of reinforcement developed by experimenting with individual subjects has been extended in recent years for use with groups. In most of these studies some social interaction within the group is reinforced. For example, Azrin and Lindsley (1956) and Lindsley (1961) have manipulated imitation, cooperation, and competition between two subjects in an operant conditioning situation. Levin and Shapiro (1962) manipulated conversation between members of a group through appropriate reinforcement. Glaser and Klaus (1962) conditioned a team of two monitors and an observer to respond as a unit by reinforcing the group only when each member had made the proper …

The Comparative Efficiency Of Two Instruments For The Diagnosis Of Juvenile Delinquency, Judith A. Nixon
Psychology ETDs
The present research concerns itself partially with the study of the delinquent and possibilities of differentiating between the delinquent and the non-delinquent using two different types of tests. However, before proceeding directly into the purpose of the study, a brief discussion of the delinquent will be undertaken in order to present background or foundation for this research.

Psychology ETDs
The purpose of this experiment was to examine the predictive power of Bower’s associative model in an investigation of the “hook-up” phase of paired-associate transfer. Presumably, if the model had sufficient power to generate results predicting transfer performance, then other aspects of the verbal learning process, e.g., the response-learning stage, might conceivably submit to a similar analysis. Thus a synthesis of the laws governing verbal learning could possibly be achieved via mathematical integration.
