A PROCEDURE TO TEACH SELF‐CONTROL TO CHILDREN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

Abstract

This study examined the use of a progressive delay procedure combined with verbal mediation to teach self-control to children with attention deficit disorder. Results showed that when participants were initially given the choice between an immediate smaller reinforcer and a larger delayed reinforcer, all participants chose the smaller reinforcer. When slight delays to obtain a larger reinforcer were instated in conjunction with intervening verbal activity, all participants demonstrated self-control regardless of the content of the verbal activity.
