PROCEDURE FOR TEACHING SELF-RECORDING

After briefly reviewing the topic of self-control instruction
for
retarded students, this
article describes a self-recording training procedure. Five moderately retarded
adolescents
were
taught
to
self-record a training behavior. They were then expected
to
generalize the self-recording behavior to idiosyncratic behaviors. Subject-observer
agreement is reported, along with monitoring effect on the idiosyncratic behaviors.
It is commonly recognized that a major defining characteristic of mental retardation
is a depressed level of adaptive behavior (Grossman, 1977). Therefore, a large body of
research on mental retardation has focused on increasing the social competence of men-
tally retarded individuals (Greenspan, 1979; Simeonsson, 1979).
Applied behavioral analysis procedures have been used extensively to successfully
remediate academic as well as social behaviors in mentally retarded individuals (Bates
&
Wehman, 1977; Thompson
&
Grabowski, 1977; Whitman
&
Sciback, 1979). These ap-
proaches have traditionally relied upon external control agents such as teachers,
custodial staff, parents, etc. More recently, however, increased emphasis has been placed
upon self-directed behavior change procedures with mentally retarded and other excep-
tional children (Kurtz
&
Neisworth, 1976; Mahoney
&
Mahoney, 1976; Meichenbaum,
1977, 1980; Rueda, Rutherford,
&
Howell, 1980; Rutherford, Howell,
&
Rueda, 1982).
Several investigators have successfully taught self-control procedures to mildly
retarded adolescents (Horner
&
Brigham, 1979; Knapczyk
&
Livingston, 1973) and to
moderately retarded adults (Helland, Patuch,
&
Klein, 1976; Nelson, Lipinski,
&
Black,
1976).
Self-control has been conceptualized as the result of several combined subskills.
These subskills include self-recording and self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-
reinforcement (Kanfer
&
Karoly, 1972). Self-monitoring skills are considered essential
to self-control, as they are indicative of students' awareness of their own behavior and
their sensitivity to changes in that behavior. It is unlikely that anyone (retarded
or
otherwise) could learn to control their behavior without first being aware of that
behavior.
Litrownik, Frietas, and Franzini
(1
978) successfully taught moderately retarded
adolescents to use self-recording procedures to monitor their own behaviors with accept-
able accuracy levels. Zegiob, Klukas, and Junginger (1978), on the other hand, reported
very low accuracy in self-recording activities with a similar population. It is probable
that methodological differences (e.g., length of self-recording sessions, number of en-
vironmental cues to self-monitor, etc.) between these studies may account for the dis-
crepant results in self-recording accuracy. continued use of self-regulatory procedures,
especially in academic settings, will require further demonstration of the utility and
feasibility
of
these procedures with moderately retarded students. Documentation of
acceptable self-recording accuracy is considered an essential first step in this process.
Self-recording is distinct from self-monitoring in that the cue promoting the
recorded behavior is external. In self-monitoring, the subject decides when to record and

records. In self-recording, the decision to record
is
made for the subject by circumstances
and/or another individual. A functional distinction between recording and monitoring is
difficult, as the cues that lead to recording may vary along a continuum from explicit
(direction by a teacher) to subtle (change in instructional task). The authors have chosen
to refer to the behavior described in this paper as self-recording because the cue is
somewhat explicit.
METHOD
Subjects
Subjects were three male and two female students ranging in age from
10
to
13
years. Their
IQ
scores (Binet), as determined by school psychologists, ranged from
30
to
44,
with a mean of
34.
All students lived at home and attended a public school self-
contained classroom for trainable mentally retarded
(TMR)
students at the time the in-
tervention was employed.
The classroom teacher was asked to select students based upon two factors. First,
students were selected for participation only
if
they had sufficient physical, sensory, and
language skills to participate in the training procedure. Second, students were selected
who emitted measurable, observable behaviors which, from the teacher’s perspective,
were disruptive either to the individual student’s learning
or
to the entire class.
From
the
self-contained class, the teacher selected five students who met the above criteria.
Materials
Students self-recorded their behaviors on a “countoon,” a recording device
developed by Lindsley, where the students’ target behaviors were represented by cartoon
figures (cited in Kunzelman,
1970).
Students used the countoons by marking the picture
that represented whichever behavior they were exhibiting when they received the signal to
self-record.
Two types of countoons were used in the treatment, one for training self-recording
and
the
other for the actual self-recording. The training countoons consisted of a
representation of a stick figure either sitting on a chair
or
standing. Each representation
was drawn within
a
4
X
5
cm box, and the two representations were placed side by side.
During training, students recorded whether they were standing
or
sitting by marking the
appropriate box.
The countoons used in the self-recording phase of the intervention consisted of
drawings of “Snoopy,” a well-known cartoon character, either engaging in a given target
behavior
or
not engaging in the target behavior. The countoons were different, therefore,
for different target behaviors.
For
example, one target behavior consisted of a student’s
tongue-out responses. In this case, the corresponding countoon depited Snoopy with a
protruding tongue, while the other countoon depicted Snoopy without a protruding
tongue. While the countoons were developed to illustrate the targeted behavior, the
meaning of the illustrations also was established through instruction. For example, the
appropriate students were told which picture illustrated Snoopy with his tongue out and
which depicted him with his tongue not out. They were then asked to “Point to the pic-
ture that shows Snoopy with his tongue out
.
.
.
,”
and were given feedback on their
responses. This procedure was used for the target behaviors
of
each of
the
five
students.
Response Definitions
The target behaviors consisted of high frequency off-task behavior for two students,
high frequency tongue-out behavior for two students, and high frequency shaking
