these investigations have demonstratedthat the behavior of retarded childrenmay be rapidly brought under stimuluscontrol. Sensitively arranged changesin the programing of discriminative andreinforcing stimuli may readily speed

up acquisition of discriminations, andthe nature of the stimuli supporting thediscriminative behavior may be analyzedwithin experimental sessions.

While the above findings demon-strate th€ efficacy of the free operantmethod for therapeutic and prostheticpurposes in producing apparently "nor-mal" uniformity in a group of retardedchildren, none has been oriented towarddevelopment of devices which auto-matically measure beltaaior deficits.To date, the only systematic applicationof free operant conditioning in the area

of diagnostic measurement is that ofLindsley (tg6o, ry62). In his experi-mental analysis of the behavior ofchronic psychotics, Lindsley has clearlyshown that some of the most clinicallyrelevant data are produced only throughlong-term, continuous, controlled ob-servation. To the clinician this is notsurprising, for there are obvious parallelsin his own training. If he decides, forexample, to use a new clinical tool fordetecting behavior deviations, he mayspend many years using the instrumentbefore he is certain of its value for hispurPose.

This report presents some of thefindings which emerged during a year

of exploratory research with a measure-ment device never before applied tothe study of mentally retarded children.

Subiects

Twenty-five institutionalized mentallyretarded children, ranging in age from

7 to 20 years and in Stanford-Binet IQ

trom 33 to 72, were selected from theWalter E. Fernald State School s with-out regard to diagnosis. These childrenwere studied for periods of time varyingfrom r to 4o hours. The initial group ofseven children, all considered educable,were attending classes regularly. Twochildren were selected from the extremesof a group on whom there were ob-jective data from a matching to sampleautomated instructional program oncoin recognition.a One of tlese childrenhad little difficulty with the program;the other persisted in random respond-ing irrespective of the stimulus materialpresented to him. Gradually orherchildren were added for purposes offollowing leads suggested in the datafrom the original core group. Seven

children were selected because they hada history of seizures. Two children whowere incapable of verbai cornmunicationand were not attending classes withinthe institution were added. Siblinggroups representing both socioculturalretardation and congenital defects werealso included. Since the sensitivity ofthe laboratory device to varying degreesand types of retardation was consideredimportant, a representative sample waspreferred to a "homogeneous" one.

Subject's Enclosure

Each subject was taken to a smaliroom containing only a chair and a

sloping wall-mounted panel on whichwere two lights, each located above aplunger manipulandum.r The child

duction in the rate of CrMz reflexes

below the'rate of the reinforced reflex

(CrMr) indicated the formation ofresponse difierentiation (making one

response instead of another). Reductionin the rate of CzMr reflexes relativeto the CrMt rate indicated stimulusdiscrimination (responding to one

stimulus and not to another). Reduc-

tion in the CzMz rate below the CrMrrate indicated formation of both differ-entiation and discrimination. Main-tenance of high rate on CzMz withconcurrent reduction of the CrMz and

CzMr rates indicated overgeneralizationor defective reality testing. The general

motivational level of the subject was

indicated by the total number of re-

sponses per session.

Procedure

Each child was brought from his

dormitory at Walter E' Fernald State

School to the laboratory at Metropolitan

EXT.

State Hospital for one-hour experi-

mental sessions once a week duringsuccessive weeks. Before the start ofthe first session, each child was intro-duced to the "machine" by E showinghim the two knobs and explaining thatwhen the machine v/as on one of thelights would go on. Ffe rl'as also shownthe reinforcement delivery tray and

told that he could learn to work themachine so that some of the time he

would get a penny or a piece of candy.No further explanation was given. Ifby the end of ro minutes the child hadnot responded on either of the knobs,he rvas told that he would have to"work" on the machine to get his

candies. Only two children failed torespond until given a demonstrationof how to pull the knobs. At no timedid a demonstration include runningofl a ratio to obtain a reinforcement'

when no responding pays ofi, this childexpends excessive amounts of energyinvolving her handicapped limb. Thisfinding suggests that physical therapyprocedures with this child which provideprolonged periods of extinction withbrief periods of reinforcement wouldproduce greater exercise of the spastic

hand than would the opposite arrange-ment. In addition, it may be that moreright hand activity would occur if the

opportunity to use both hands togetherwere present. This, of course, is sub-

iect to experimental test.Abnormally low response rares,

Three children, all of whom were on

anticonvulsants, responded at abnor-mally low rates. One of these children

also displayed clinically evident psy-

chotic symptoms, the second produced

higher rates when his medication was

reduced, and the third required a lowerratio of reinforcement to maintain suf-

ficient behavior for a difierential re-

sponse pattern to emerge. The plotteddata for this third child are presented

in Figure 6. Response rates during the

first six sessions under fixed-ratioio (FR ro) were uniformly low (see

lower graph of responses per session foreach of the four reflexes), and no

difierential pattern was shos'n (see

rate index graph). The next three

sessions were programed to determineefiects of lower ratio requirements.Reinforcement of every CrMI reflex

It is not surprising that the loratio of reinforcements enabled

child to learn the difierentiationdiscrimination task. Its efiect onrate of responding is unusual eno

to have possible implications fordeficit. Higher ratios most often

duce faster rates of response, provithe nature of the reinforcement is

propriate. In this case, the beha
