“…These behavior-environmental contingencies effectively prevent reinforcement of appropriate mands and provide the child with a functional unit of aversive mands and other negative behaviors which prevents further teaching. As observed by Sundberg (1993, p. 213 (Yarrow, 1961).…”

Delays in acquiring age-appropriate verbal repertoires in preschool children with no known organic etiology may be explained by defective or absent behavior-environmental contingencies. This paper presents six possible behavioral paradigms that describe verbal episodes between parents and their preschool children and how these interactions may inhibit or prevent the acquisition of verbal behavior. These paradigms are contrasted with parent-child interactions that typically result in age-appropriate verbal repertoires. Identifying the reinforcement contingencies that produce delays in acquisition of verbal behavior could lead to the development of more effective behavioral programs for remediating nonorganic language delay. Recommendations for prevention, treatment and total recovery from functional verbal delay and associated mental retardation are presented. The relation between contingencyshaped and rule-govemed behavior in the shaping of verbal behavior is discussed.

“…Continuities in ways-ofliving, and in personal relationships for the children, were provided between their day-care and their residential care. "For the infant and young child" , as Yarrow (1961) says, "changes result in a loss of environmental predictability. The degree of stress involved is likely to vary with the degree of unpredictability."…”

“…Reviews of the literature on maternal deprivation by Bowlby (1951) and more recently by Yarrow (1961) and Casler (1961) present scanty and inconclusive evidence on this question. The question is pursued in this study through an assessment of the adjustment in young adulthood of twenty wartime British residential nurserychildren.The conceptual complexities and methodological problems of studying early childhood separation have been discussed by Ains worth and Bowlby (1954), Palmer (1961), and Yarrow (1961. Short comings in the designs of prior studies have been of at least five kinds.…”

“…Studies of sepa ration and group care should not be confounded by factors of mul tiple placement and permanent severance. Fourth, the child's age at separation is a theoretically significant variable which has not always, as Yarrow (1961) indicates, been controlled or even reported in prior research. Fifth, follow-up studies of separated and institu tionalized children have been based upon samples drawn from the active rosters of mental health treatment facilities, introducing, as Beres and Obers (1950, p .213) observe about their own study, " a fac tor of selectivity" which makes " the degree of pathology in our series of cases... greater" .…”
