title: Research in self-monitoring with students with learning disabilities: the present, the prospects, the pitfalls.
abstract: The amount of research in the use of self-monitoring intervention with students has increased steadily. This article reviews the literature to date on self-monitoring with students with learning disabilities. First, it discusses the results of self-monitoring studies in terms of major dependent measures, such as on-task behavior and academic productivity and accuracy. Next, it analyzes studies comparing the effects of self-monitoring of attention and self-monitoring of performance on on-task behavior and academic responding. Finally, it discusses areas for future research and potential conceptual pitfalls.
