The Effects of Self-Monitoring and Contingent Reward on Sight Word Acquisition.
Lalli, Elizabeth Pinter; Shapiro, Edward S.
Education and Treatment of Children, v13 n2 p129-41 May 1990
Effects of self-monitoring alone and in combination with external contingent rewards on sight word acquisition were compared across two groups of four learning-disabled elementary students. Both treatments were found to increase sight word vocabulary, but contingent reward did not enhance the reactivity of self-monitoring for most students. (Author/PB)
