TY - JOUR PY - 1970// TI - Generalization of aggressive behavior in adolescent delinquent boys JO - Journal of applied behavior analysis A1 - Horton, L. E. SP - 205 EP - 211 VL - 3 IS - 3 N2 - The generalization of conditioned aggressive and nonaggressive responses in a group of six adolescent delinquent boys was investigated. Responses were reinforced in card games where a token reinforcement system with money as a back-up rinforcer was used. Conditioning of responses was rapid. Generalization, measured in terms of frequency of physical contact, was tested in a group game for which no reinforcement was given. Generalization occurred during aggressive contingencies. During nonaggressive contingencies, responses did not return completely to the baseline level.
