Abstrakt: 56 third-grade children were divided into 4 groups of 14 each and given a simultaneous discrimination task. There were 2 levels of reward, immediate and 6- second delay, and 2 sets of instructions, orienting and nonorienting. The notion that goal orientation, produced by orienting instructions, serves to substantially decrease the potentially detrimental effects of delaying reward was supported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
