Annette E. Birkhoff received her MA degree in developmental psychology from Leiden University.
Paul M. Smeets received his EdD from Temple University and is chair of the Behavior Analysis Unit at Leiden University. His research interest is in stimulus control technology.
Giulio E. Lancioni received his PhD from the University of Kansas and is senior researcher at Leiden University. His interest areas are stimulus control, nonverbal communication, and computer-aided instruction for severely handicapped individuals.
Harrie H. Boelens received his PhD from the University of Utrecht. His research concerns discrimination learning in mentally retarded children. The present study evaluated a program for establishing phonemic segmentation in moderately retarded children. The study consisted of two experiments. Experiment 1 assessed whether the failure to isolate final phonemes of Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words (CVC) was due to the task requirements per se, or to inadequate understanding of the task demands. Experiment 2 evaluated the effects of a time-based stimulus manipulation procedure for teaching the students to isolate final consonants. The data revealed that (a) establishing adequate instructional control had no effect on the subjects' performance (Experiment 1), and (b) the training procedure was effective for all subjects (Experiment 2).
