Distinguishing Between Social Reinforcement and Social Elicitation.
Bloom, Kathleen
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v38 n1 p93-102 Aug 1984
Discusses the distinction between species-typical (elicitation) and operant reinforcement interpretations of infant/adult social interaction; considers procedural and analytic components of Poulson's 1983 paper (v36 p471-89); and clarifies differences in Poulson's interpretation and the author's interpretation of the vocal conditioning studies of Bloom (1975, 1977b) and Bloom and Esposito (1975).
