    The "Think Aloud" program improved self-control and prosocial behaviors in aggressive boys aged 6-8. Cognitive test performance also shifted towards normal patterns after the intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • Aggressive behavior in young boys is a significant concern.
    • Early intervention is crucial for addressing behavioral and cognitive deficits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of the "Think Aloud" training program.
    • To improve self-control and cognitive skills in hyperaggressive boys.
    • To reduce aggressive behaviors and increase prosocial behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • The "Think Aloud" program utilized modeling and verbalization of cognitive strategies.
    • Intervention involved daily 30-minute individual sessions over 6 weeks.
    • Compared outcomes for trained aggressive boys, untrained aggressive boys, and normal control subjects.

    Main Results:

    • Teachers reported significant improvements in prosocial behaviors for the trained group compared to controls.
    • Cognitive test performance patterns in the trained group shifted from resembling aggressive controls to resembling normal controls.
    • While both aggressive groups showed some reduction in aggressive behaviors, the trained group demonstrated greater gains in prosocial actions.

    Conclusions:

    • The "Think Aloud" program shows potential value in assisting early-grade aggressive boys.
    • Verbal mediation skills training can positively impact behavior and cognitive functioning.
    • Further refinements may enhance the program's efficacy for diverse populations of aggressive children.
