Pressley, Michael
Review of Educational Research, v49 n2 p319-70 Spr 1979
Research is reviewed on cognitive interventions which affect children's self-control. Five types of effective manipulations are discussed: self-verbalization; external verbalization; affect manipulation; cognitive transformation; and manipulation of attention. Self-control behaviors include modification of impulsive behaviors; delay of gratification; and control of motor behavior. (MH)
