Abstract
A framework for understanding educational exceptionality in terms of stimulus, response, and reinforcement is offered. Every educationally exceptional child is seen as having some measurable defect in one of 41 areas which represent points of interaction of receptive functioning, response mechanisms, and responsivity to reinforcement. The framework provides a guideline for assessment, for grouping for instruction, and for remedial techniques in terms of observable behavioral variables.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
