It will also publish technical articles relevant to such research and discussion ofissues arising from behavioral applications. The Journal is published quarterly by the Society for theExperimental Analysis of Behavior, Inc., at Lawrence, Kansas.

Five photocopies of each manuscript, prepared according to Instructions to Authors, JABA,1978, 11, 10, should be submitted to the Editor, K. Daniel O'Leary, Department of Psychology,State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794.

ANNOUNCEMENT

CHANGE OF ADDRESS-RETURNED JOURNALS

One out of every five subscribers changes his address during the year. Addresschanges are a big job in the Business Office; however, an even more cumbersome jobis returned journals. When the journal is mailed at press-time, it is sent out undera special second-class bulk rate, costing about 14¢ an issue depending on weight.However, when the journal is returned to the Business Office because a subscriberhas changed his address, JABA must pay 40¢ for receipt of the returned journal,plus an additional 10¢ if JABA is furnished with the subscriber's new address bythe Post Office. In the past, the Business Office has attempted immediately to contactsubscribers of each returned journal, request a forwarding charge, and remail theissue at a regular rate of 260. Mailing and forwarding charges vary with the weightof the journal, but as the journal gets thicker (and heavier) the postal charges increase.

The publishing board of JABA feels that it has reasonable subscription rates andcannot, therefore, afford to take on the additional cost of returned and forwardedjournals. Consequently, when a journal is returned to the Business Office, we willcontact you as time allows and ask you to remit $1.00 in cash to the BusinessManager for each issue that must be forwarded.

A DEVICE FOR TRAINING AND MAINTAININGFIXED-INTERVAL BEHAVIORS IN THENONTIME-TELLING POPULATION

A number of behaviors that require completion ona fixed-interval schedule, such as asking for pre-scribed medication at designated times, trading intokens at set intervals, participating in cleanlinessprocedures before meals, and regulating food intakeat set times (i.e., meals and snack times), can betaught to nontime-telling populations such as theretarded or the young. A standard wrist watch ismodified by removing either the minute or hourhand, depending on the time interval desired, and byplacing self-adhesive colored disks on the face of thewatch, either on top of or under the crystal. Place-ment of the colored disks varies according to thetime interval desired.

Rapid initial training can be implemented with theminute hand of the watch in place. Once the indi-vidual has learned to make the desired response whenthe hand of the watch points to a particular coloreddisk, the minute hand can be replaced by the hourhand of the watch for generalization over longertime periods. We have found the watch to be ofvalue in training menstrual hygiene skills to retardedfemales with MA's of 2 yr or more (Shapiro, Ozbek,Russo, and Cataldo, Note 1). Checking of the watchat periodic intervals, and identification of the timesat which the hand of the watch and a colored diskare superimposed, can be trained as separate skills andthen chained to the desired target response.

Several other uses of this device may be easilyprogrammed. First, by setting the watch such that apredetermined time elapses until the hand reaches a

colored disk, the cessation of activities (such as playperiods) may be noted. Second, the watch may alsoserve as a discriminative stimulus for maintenancepersonnel. When the child wears the watch, adultsresponsible for treatment are aware that the particulartreatment program is in operation. Third, the samemodification may be made on a standard wall clockso that groups of individuals can be taught to moni-tor their time. Fourth, the device may be used toprogram DRL schedules for behaviors such as re-questing snacks, which often occur at excessivelyhigh rates.

The cost for the modified watch rests solely in thepurchase price of the watch (less than $13) and thepurchase of a box of self-sticking removable labels,such as Pres-a-ply labels by Dennison (1000 labels/$2.75). Modifications can often be made at the timeof purchase without charge. Watches with large, plainfaces, that is, few numerals and no designs, are ideal.

A BEHAVIORAL TACHOMETER

Objective measurement of response rates in naturalsettings has been inhibited by a lack of available andinexpensive measurement devices. Given the popularwrist counter (Lindsley, 1968), one is still left withpure count and not rate. If a stopwatch is added tothis, we have count and time and can determine rate.The determination of rate then relies on either acalculator, a table of rates (Wolking, 1972), or alogarithmic chart and a "frequency finder" (Penny-packer, 1972). The combination of these devices canbe somewhat expensive ($5 for a wrist counter, $15to $25 for a stopwatch) and bothersome. All ofthese factors mitigate against the fundamental mea-suring response.An interesting and significant improvement over

these matters can now be obtained. A calculator witha stopwatch built in is now available from Cali-fornia Qualitron Corporation. This electronic timerallows the accumulation of time from 0.0 to 9,999,-999.0 sec. It can be started and stopped from the frontpanel as well as reset to zero. The instrument is alsocapable of counting down from nine million to zero

seconds. This lends itself nicely to limited holds. Thetime can be stored in memory (the unit has onememory location) so that an infinite number of dif-ferent response counts can be divided by time toyield rate of response.A small modification involving a mini-jack on the

side of the unit allows remote start/stop control (afoot switch is a good choice. The unit cost of thecalculator/timer is $16.50 and it can be obtainedthrough Formula International, Inc., Crenshaw Blvd.,Hawthorne, CA 90250.The unit has been found very useful in providing

individual instruction at a local elementary school.The foot-switch modification allows both of the in-structor's hands to be frea, which can be very im-portant in working with young children. It has alsoprovided time savings in rate computation whereseveral different response rates are involved.
