The use of self-modeling to improve the swimming performance of spina bifida children

P W Dowrick et al. J Appl Behav Anal. 1980 Spring.

Abstract

The use of edited videotape replay (which showed only "positive" behaviors) to improve the water skills of three spina bifida children, aged 5 to 10 years was examined. A multiple baseline across subjects design was used, and behavioral changes were observed to occur in close association with intervention. One child was given successive reapplications of videotaped self-modeling with continuing improvements. It appears that a useful practical technique has been developed.
