Abstract
This report recommends research on the curriculum for learning disabled children using the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) methodology as the system for pursuing the suggested studies. This is Part I of a two-part report. It includes an explanation of the research variables suggested and a brief description of the ABA research methodology. Included also is a justification for recommending this particular investigative approach. Suggestions are made for research on general curriculum topics such as generalization and retention. Part I concludes with a discussion of some methodological limitations of the ABA system, and some comments on how these limitations might stimulate additional investigations.Keywords
