ABSTRACT

Self-management techniques have been proposed as an aid to obtaining improvements in behavior and as a means of increasing the likelihood that improved behavior will generalize to other settings and continue when formal programs have been discontinued. Of the several components of self-management – self-assessment, self-recording, self-determination of reinforcement, and self-administration of reinforcement (Glynn, Thomas & Shee, 1973) – self-recording is the aspect of self-management of concern in the studies to be reported in this chapter.
