RELATION OF INTELLIGENCE TO EFFECTIVENESS OF PRAISE AND REPROOF AS REINFORCERS FOR FOURTH-GRADERS.

Ninety lower-middle and upper-lower class fourth-grade students of high, medium, and low intelligence were divided into three verbal incentive treatment groups—praise, reproof, and no incentive. Each group was given two trials on a discrimination task, the incentive treatment being applied between trials. The major hypothesis, that there is an interaction between effectiveness of incentive and intelligence, was supported in previous research on high school juniors. But for these fourth graders, although the trend was in the predicted direction, there was no significant relationship between intelligence and effectiveness of verbal incentive. There was a significant difference for this age child, however, between the main effects, with praise being more effective than reproof or no incentive.

EFFECTS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SUCCESS OR FAILURE ON CHILDREN'S REPETITIVE MOTOR BEHAVIOR

This is a report of two studies on the conditions and consequences of the arousal of pride and shame in children. In common-sense terms, pride and shame are related to the public exposure of a person's characteristics. People are proud when their good characteristics are exposed, ashamed when their bad characteristics are revealed to the public. In its broadest sense shame is an emotional state that occurs when one's defects, poor abilities, or bad intentions are made public. Pride is an emotional state resulting from the public exposure of good abilities or good intentions. There is no implication that shame and pride are bipolar. In these studies there was no attempt to measure directly the feelings of pride and shame. Rather, the situational factors presumed to arouse the feelings were manipulated and certain behavioral consequences were observed. Pride and shame, then, are intervening variables in the schema. The operations presumed to arouse these feelings are to have the subjects succeed or fail in public (the private condition serves as the control); and the dependent variables are the speed and accuracy of performance on simple visuomotor performances. Although few empirical studies have explicitly investigated pride or shame, the following bodies of empirical literature are relevant to the present research: (a) the effects of failure stress on performance; (b) studies of audience effects; (c) the effects of praise and reproof on performance; and (d) studies of reward and punishment. Only the first two will be discussed here.

Effect of Praise and Reproof upon Memory Span Performance

Memory span is a widely used test in clinical psychology. Learing has defined memory span as number of discrete units over which an individual can successively distribute his attention and still organize them into a working unit.' To put it more simply, memory span is the ability of an individual to reproduce immediately, after one presentation, a series of discrete stimuli in their original order.
