Mentally Retarded Residents as Paraprofessionals in Modifying Mealtime Behavior

Mercatoris, Michael; And Others

Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 84, 3, 299-302, Jun 75

This study investigated the possibility of employing mildly mentally retarded residents to observe the mealtime behaviors of lower level mentally retarded residents. Then these residents were employed as reinforcing agents, to determine if a retarded "trainer" could modify the observed mealtime behaviors within a multiple baseline design. (Editor/RK)
