Extract

Behaviour Modification has been applied in education since the early days of operant Work. In the Beginning, almost all applications were with children, but in recent years research has begun on behaviour modification methods for training professional behaviour modifiers, including therapists (Matarazzo, 1971), teachers (Peck & Tucker, 1973), and parents (O'Dell, 1974). A few of these techniques have begun to replace the traditional “higher education” methods that still predominate in the training of behaviour modifiers at all levels. This paper will describe as a case study a training programme which is coordinated by this author.
