Anderson, Vikki; Merrett, Frank
Educational Psychology: An International Journal of Experimental Educational Psychology, v17 n3 p313-28 Sep 1997
Discusses the application of "say-do" (a technique which compares students' verbal commitment to positive behavior with the actual behavior) correspondence training to reduce troublesome behavior in the classroom. Specifically reviews the cases of seven secondary students and traces their responses to this technique. Defends correspondence training as a useful strategy. (MJP)
