Abstract
This paper describes a residential training program which is exploring the effectiveness of behavior modification techniques with antisocial behavior. Mildly retarded adolescent boys who frequently engage in antisocial behavior are placed in a controlled environment where reinforcement and punishment are administered systematically in accordance with principles of operant conditioning. Two experiments are reported which pertain to the effectiveness of the techniques being utilized.

In a test of the hypothesis that exposure of children to film-mediated aggressive models would increase the probability of Ss' aggression to subsequent frustration, 1 group of experimental Ss observed real-life aggressive models, and a 2nd observed these same models potraying aggression on film.

An attempt was made to strengthen behaviors of psychotics by applying operant reinforcement principles in a mental hospital ward by standardizing the objective criteria and placing emphasis on objective definition and quantification of the responses and reinforcers and upon programming and recording procedures.

The results of this experiment were interpreted as support for the hypothesis that the psychopathic individual is comparatively unresponsive to social reinforcement and related to Cleckley's (1955) concept of Semantic Dementia.

There is good evidence that anticipation of punishment is an important factor in the regulation of aggression and the permanence of effects of exposure to models is in doubt.
