The Effects of Age, Group-Size, and Classroom Social Homogeneity upon the Extinctive Properties of Implicit Reward Conditions.
Sharpley, C. F.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v28 n4 p301-14 Dec 1982
Handwriting performance was measured over baseline, direct contingent reward, and implicit reward conditions for elementary-grade children from normal classes. Extinctive reactions present under implicit reward conditions were significantly stronger for groups of eight than for paired subjects. Age-level factors were not significantly related to extinctive responses. (Author/NQA)
