Social Conditioning and Its Proper Control Procedures
Bloom, Kathleen; Esposito, Anita
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 19, 2, 209-222, Apr 75
Presents two studies which investigated the effects of social stimulation on infant's vocalization rates. Experiment I focused on response-contingent and response-independent social stimulation. Experiment II focused on continuous or omitted social stimulation. In both studies, social stimulation increased vocalization and the rate of responding was insensitive to the programmed contingency.
