Abstract
The present report describes measurement of the aversiveness of 10 well-known decelerator techniques. 67 experts in the use of behavior modification completed and returned a questionnaire which asked them to use a numerical magnitude estimation task to produce the scale. Implications and limitations of the scale, which should be of considerable aid in the provision of services for the institutionalized mentally retarded, are discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
