For four moderately mentally retarded children, each uncorrected oral reading error was followed by: (a) immediate teacher attention, with the teacher correcting the error word as soon as it occured, (b) delayed teacher attention, with the teacher correcting the error word at the end of the sentence in which it occured or within 10 to 15 seconds if the subject paused following an error, or (c) no teacher attention. Both immediate and delayed teacher attention were effective in reducing the number of uncorrected oral reading errors and increasing the number of self-corrections when compared to the no-treatment control. However, the delayed condition had greater effect than the immediate condition on both measures. In a later remediation phase, when only the delayed treatment was given, uncorrected errors remained at low levels whereas self-corrections generally increased. Total errors whether subsequently self-corrected or not, with one exception, decreased during the study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77671,"journal":{"name":"Applied research in mental retardation","volume":"6 3","pages":"Pages 283-293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0270-3092(85)90002-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15149677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multiple baseline analysis with alternating treatments for “instructions to self-monitor” and “no instructions to self-monitor” revealed (a) self-monitoring had an accelerative effect on compliments and questions and a decelerative effect on self-disclosure; (b) self-monitoring effects were maintained despite transferring from a mechanical counter to an unspecified covert monitoring procedure; (c) self-monitoring had a comparable effect whether employed in a clinical or functional communication setting; (d) performance of the target behavior was most strongly influenced under the “instructions to self-monitor condition;” (e) once intervention was directed to another response, the rate under the instructions and no instruction conditions became equivalent; and (f) the results maintained over a 1-month follow-up for one youth available for observation.

Analysis of severity of symptom endorsement showed significant group differences on items reflecting somatic, self-evaluative, and behavioral components of depression, with mentally retarded subjects demonstrating higher scores. Mentally retarded adolescents were found to score higher (p < .001) on the learned helplessness measure than nonmentally retarded adolescents.
