The development of behavior modification principles and procedures
and the ensuing research have had a dramatic impact on services for
mentally re tarded persons. This book is the second edition of a
volume that is designed to update readers on some of these many
developments. Although many of the chapter titles and authors from
the first edition remain unchanged, we have added additional
chapters to reflect new areas of research. The book is thus a
critical review of this literature and, as such, provides essential
and important notions about what we know and what can be done to
expand our current knowledge. The authors of the chapters are all
recognized experts who have been active in publishing in the
research areas they critique. As a result, they have a good
understanding of what are the major issues in the field. And
because they are also active in service provision to persons with
identified handicaps, their material will be especially useful to
practitioners and, it is hoped, to those_ professionals who are
working in the field in estab lishing data-based treatments. One
important change in the field has concerned the terminology used to

persons. dation are no longer referred to as "the mentally
retarded," and although no disrespect is intended, for the sake of
continuity the original title has been retained on the advice of
the publisher."
