Attentional aspects of classroom behavior and discrimination learning
Res Dev Disabil.
1991.
Abstract
Teachers' ratings of their mentally handicapped pupils' classroom behavior were examined as correlates of the child's performance on a discrimination learning task. Teachers completed the 23-item version of the Attention/Distraction Inhibition/Excitation Classroom Assessment Scale (ADIECAS) for a total of 77 pupils. Factors identified as attention/distractibility and responsivity to consequences correlated significantly with number of errors and number of trials to criterion during acquisition of a simultaneous visual discrimination. Attention/distractibility scores also correlated significantly with number of dimensions "attended to" during discrimination learning.
