Lewis M. 1995. Predicting Preschool Function from Contingency Intervention [Final report]. New Brunswick, NJ: University of Medicine and Dentistry-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, 61 pp.

Annotation: This project determined whether experience with a special early intervention program, focusing on the process of learning itself, was predictive of the cognitive, communicative, and adaptive functioning and motivation of developmentally delayed preschoolers. A group of more than 100 developmentally delayed preschoolers who participated in a special supplemental 3-month contingency intervention program during their first year were seen at 4 years of age. The study provided evidence of the long-term impact of learning to control environment early in life on subsequent functioning. The results have implications for the effective cognitive and physical therapy of the very young disabled child. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
