Description

In recent years, a number of basic research on choice behavior of animals and humans have utilized the self-control paradigm. However, surprisingly few experimental studies have investigated self-control in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity and autistic disorders, even though hyperactivity and impulsiveness characterizes many of these children. The present article reviews these experimental studies, which can be divided into : (1) studies concerned with the measurement/appraisal of impulsiveness and (2) studies about training procedures used in self-control studies. Issues concerning the application of the self-control paradigm to developmentally handicapped children are discussed, with major emphasis on issues related to verbal instruction, assessment of reinforcers, and the relation between the delay-of-gratification and self-control paradigms.
