Abstract

A demonstration study is described in which self-recording was implemented with an upper primary class of ten children with learning difficulties. Following a baseline period, an alternating conditions design was employed which demonstrated a mean rise in on-task behaviour of 10% as a result of the self-recording intervention employed.
